This New Found Popularity is a Bit Perplexing

I went to view my stats page today and I saw this.

I’ve added the value to the two peaks just to show why I’m confused.

If you look at the long running trends, I rarely break 50 views in a day.  But for some reason wholly unknown to me, I have this new found popularity.  I’m not really sure why, I’m not that great of a writer and there has to be more exciting writers out there.

The big peak is on 6/10, the day of the big patch (WordPress stats start at midnight GMT, and I made a post around 6pm EST, or 11pm GMT).  I listed some of the equipment from the patch on a page, and traffic just spiked.

Ok cool, I can deal, and I can understand this one.

Including 6/9 (day before), my hits per day go 52, 254, 72, 33, 24, 23, 25, 38, 69, 179, bringing us to midnight GMT today.  Considering that before 6/9 my highest hits per day was 54, I’m sure you can see why I find this odd.  4 days in the last 10 days are my highest 4 days since I started this blog April 2007, with one more day being nearly my highest.  Looking at what was clicked on, some of these visitors went as far back as last September.  Many of my search hit terms are not even related to the current items (in reality, most of the hits are related to people trying to figure out how campaign exp is calculated towards your rank up.  The answer here is that no one really knows).

So I’m going to ask, what did I do to deserve this?  A math and computer science major from a small liberal arts college in Pennsylvania (Ursinus College) working as a systems admin does not make a good writer.

Oh well, time for Limbus.
