	Meursault wrote on May 5^th, 2015 at 8:09pm: OK, I am waiting for a guildmate to log on so we can take a run, and he's having login problems. So I ran around the marketplace and wrote down character names, then looked them up in WHO. Of the 50 I looked up, only 1 was anonymous, and it might be that he just logged off. So 2% anonymous for the sample, I'd say it's safe to assume the� population is < 5% even if I had really bad luck sampling. Anonymous people often don't socialize much so they shouldn't be on friends lists. However I assume its less than 10% of server population (as far as non-boxes).

	Thank you Severlin ! The population is completely fucked, thanks to the brilliant decision to spend what little resources and time they had on needless changes, ridiculous buffs and "balance pass" ( all of that fucks cooperation and grouping even more ) instead of SOME content - at least SOMETHING that kept the remaining people interested. Hey at least we have ten new hundred page threads bitching about "balance" or xyz class every week. Too bad there are no people playing.

	OMG, new Oracle graphs, I think I just had a datagasm. @Kobold, nothing to do with friend, guild, LFM, or chat, I ran around the Marketplace instance and wrote down the name of each character I saw, and looked to see if each showed up on WHO list. I agree with you that those lists concentrate social players and I wanted a sampling method that avoided that bias. This method would overreport anon usage as a player could log out before I looked them up, so the only underreporting would come from sample size. 10% is way high, 2% is the best estimate and 5% is a conservative overestimate. I also checked to make sure I didn't have a ton of low level characters because they might not yet know about anon, but my most frequent level was 28 and I only had 3 of level 5 or below. I can't wait to get home and view this on something bigger than an iPad!

	Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

What about that excellent LOL Heart of Madness release? Wasn't that enough to keep players going for another year? The replayability in that content is awesome, kinda like TOEE....

	Adam Smith: Quote: People that advocate for server mergers just want to turn DDO into a nice big chatroom. No thanks, we do not want that at all. 8 servers is just fine and adding more would be perfectly fine as well. Lord of the Rings Online has 29 servers. So we could use 21 more in DDO.
