Wow, I didn't expect the turn out this survey has gotten. It's been over a week so I'd like to go over the results so far:
Our male to female ratio of characters are nearly even, though I believe some people didn't actually put anything down for their gender. To bad, but it's always good to have a balance of the genders in RP.Â
Now for the races:
It's no surprise that the Mi'qote lead the races. They've been very popular for a long time and still attract players consistently. What is surprising is that the Seekers of the Sun heavily outweigh the Keepers. In fact if you combine the Seekers and Keepers they outnumber all the other races, excluding Midlander, COMBINED.Â
Midlanders are the next popular, only trailing by 3 votes behind the Keepers. It's no surprise, human characters are often popular in MMOs. What is interesting is that the other human race, the Highlanders are trailing significantly behind the Midlanders. They are still more popular than the other races, but there is a definite difference between the two populations.
The Elezen are next with the Duskwright behind just 2 votes ahead of the Wildwood. This isn't terribly shocking given how polarizing their appearances can be.Â
Next we have the Plainsfolk and Dunesfolk. Again, the Lalafel tend to be polarizing given their child like natures. However, the Dunesfolk heavily outnumber the Plainsfolk. Apparently greed is important!
Finally we have the Roes. There are a few interesting tidbits out of the Roes. While the other races are fairly balanced between the races, there is only a single Seawolf compared to 7 Hellsguard. Further, the females of the Roe outnumber the males 2 to 1. Long live muscle girls!
I'll be leaving this poll open for a few more weeks to hopefully get some more results. Feel free to leave your own thoughts on the survey so far!
