If I am reading the graph correctly, it is saying that Allegiance takes less time to be good at then other games, which is the opposite of what you are trying to say....

See, the other games increase at gaming skill at a SLOWER rate then allegiance according to the graph, which is not what you are trying to say at all. Its a funny picture, but makes no sense.

However, how many corpses can you see rotting on runescape?

No one dies on runescape, they all go back to the castle.... n00b.

The Y-axis could be changed to information needed. That would make more sense, and we could still show the cliff with corpses

The x axis is relative to the time spent of the game, think percentuals

It's not supposed to be scientific, it's supposed to be funny. And succeeds.

Although I would argue that Alleg's learning curve is nowhere near as steep as some people like to think it is in order to stroke their own vet egos...

Wouldn't it work if we just switch the two axes? Not perfect but more correctly, and easy fix ofcourse.

I agree with Rock

Can we change this plz? I suggest: Simply remove the labels on the axes altogether. I.e., just leave the picture, labelled "Learning Curves" and with the explanation of what game the different curves represent, but without the labels "Time spent playing" or "Gaming skill." It'd be just as funny, in fact probably more, since it wouldn't be confusing, and it gets the right message across, i.e. it's a curve of learning, and it is steep, and little stick figures are dying on it. That's all anyone needs to know to get the message anyway, actually trying to explain what the diagram represents exactly is not necessary; it just has to be an image that calls up the phrase "really steep learning curve."
