One perpetual to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them?

Nice to see the perp numbers... though I'm also surprised there have been that many given out.

Would it be possible to see those numbers broken down by server?

There are 52 weeks in a year, 5 days of which are usually hosted with a Live Event from Rarebit. 5x52 = 260 Live Events on estimate of a year. That's 260 chances (most of which are guaranteed) to win a perpetual. That list doesn't count the probably hundreds of Translocation Programs/Glimmer of the Source/Merv's Boon/Zion Hardware Reqs that were given out as well. We just celebrated our third anniversary not too long ago, so some more basic math, 260x3 = 780 chances at winning a reward overall. What you might be thinking though, is I'm sure a little under 50% of the people who have those perpetuals probably don't either log in that often or just don't play, which would create the illusion in which you might not think that there are that many perpetuals out there to begin with.

Whoo! I'm one of the rare ones. :3

@ Vinia: Having the perp activated to ward off delete upgrade attacks is actually a bonus! :D

Yeah, when you break down the numbers, it certainly makes sense that there are that many out and about.  As you said, though, you don't see nearly that many around so the perception is what makes it surprising.
