	[[Public Player Statistics]] is basically [[Gameplay Statistics]] made available to others than the player creating them. They can quite easily be created through the use of [[Global High Score Lists]] or [[Achievements]] as long as they can be accessed by others (they can be especially appropriate for [[Goal Achievements]] since these are directly linked to players' progress). They can then be modulated so only selected people can view them through the use of [[Friend Lists]] (or so that players can filter presentations when the gameplay data of very many players can be accessed), or that people not even playing the games are told about them through [[Extra-Game ~~Event~~ Broadcasting]]. The latter option may be under players' control (like updating one's status on Facebook about what one has done in [[FarmVille]] or [[Ravenwood Fair]]) or automatically be sent out by the system. Less obvious ways to create [[Public Player Statistics]] include [[Visits]] and [[Non-Player Help]]. The former allows players to choose when they visit other players' parts of [[Game Worlds]] and thereby know more about their gameplay.
