+==== Description ====
+This dataset collects the number of players of the RuneScape MMOG
+during the period from 2011-05-04 to 2011-11-22. The data have been
+collected by fetching the page [[http://www.runescape.com/title.ws]]
+approximately every 2 minutes, and checking the number of players
+online as it appeared on that page.
+Note that, due to occasional network glitches, some measurements may
+have been missed (and do not appear on the dataset).
+The structure of the dataset is quite simple. There are three columns,
+separated by a single space. Columns 1 and 2 contain the timestamp in
+RFC 3339 format, as produced by the ''`date --rfc-3339="seconds"`'' UNIX
+command. The third column is the number of players online at that
+time. Pay attention to the daylight saving on october 30, 2011.
+The present dataset is available from [[http://pads.cs.unibo.it/]]
