Hey everyone. How's the withdrawls/anticipation? :P

Survey Form

New Accurate, Expanded Results

 

Anyway, if any of you remember the survey I posted a few days ago, it's garnered about 6,000 responses now. Well, as promised, I was able to recreate the results, while still keeping it tied to the survey form. You will all be able to see the results updated in real time, with some expanded statistics such as male vs female healers, and individual stats for the top four servers. Additionally, you as a community will be able to view each individual result, download and play w/ the spreadsheet if you'd like, and comment/help me police for bogus results. Big thanks to /u/novapunkX for the help in bringing the formulas into Google. You'll notice it's just text stats and percentages, as google documents slowed to a crawl once I started adding graphical charts. So, no graphical charts, but the statistics are still really fun.

Thanks! Hope you enjoy! :)

Hey folks,

 

I know you've all seen a bunch of these already, but hang in there - we're all bored prior to launch.

 

Here's a quick survey I put together that's making the rounds from reddit to the beta forum with some interesting results so far. Thought you folks might want to stop in to pad your server choice and roleplaying as a play option. :)

 

Character Survey

 

Results (Skewed)

 

Edit: 22:50PM 07/24/13 EST

Accurate results plus a bunch of different calculations:

Bunch of different ways the data is processed. Just text with percentages as I didn't feel like formatting it for charts and thought giving more raw data would be better. :) Enjoy. If there's a particular statistic you'd like to see, make a suggestion and if I'm up to it.

If you're really interested and want the excel file, shoot me an PM and I'll be happy to share.

Some other notes:

- Yes, I am aware this isn't official census statistics and only representative of those who choose to participate. :P

- It is possible to submit the form more than once, so take the results with a grain of salt. It's more for a general idea/curiosity of race, gc, and where folks are playing.

 

Thanks! :)

I was all excited about the fact that the females are almost 50% of the results... then I remembered that was character gender, not player gender... QQ

 

Heh! That is interesting, for sure! The ffxiv subreddit had a demographics survey the other day asking people's real gender, where only 13% responded they were female. Though, seems a lot are playing with a female character. :thumbsup:

Just so you're all aware when looking at the results, it appears there was a bogus multiple submission. I'm able to edit it out of the stored spreadsheet, but not the public results summary.

 

I'll try to post more accurate results in a couple days. But for now, try to visualize by subtracting 450 responses from the following categories:

 

- Female

- Seeker of the Sun

- Midgarsormr

- Conjurer/White Mage

- Weaver

- Fisher

- Gridania

 

Edit: Additionally, I should be able to farm some more interesting stats from the spreadsheet, including how many responses included "roleplay" per server. :)

Yeah.... cuz right now, looks like Gilgamesh is the most populous server.

O.o

Which isn't surprising, I guess, if all of 4chan and reddit will be there, but still: so much for the belief that queue times would be shorter in comparison to Balmung! LOL

Fun to look at these results. ^^ It's a good thing I'm not letting the number of people playing a race bother me in my own decision though, haha.

 

The server breakdown worries and bothers me. :/ I wish people could just converge on just one non-legacy server instead of kicking themselves in the gut.

Look at the percentages overall. Gilgamesh is 29 percent with just over seventeen percent rpers. That's more than half and with a higher percentage of players going there than Couerl.

 

Gooooooooooooo Gilgamesh!!!!

Balmung with 45% RPers. Tasteh. :) I hope I run into all you people!

 

With polls like this we have to remember the audience too. This was from reddit (which I believe Reddit chose as their server? notice the number of votes for Gilga..), and advertised around. So there's still a lot of missing player votes!

 Well then I'm happy that seventeen percent of the votes for Gilga even if from Reddit are roleplayers.

 

Sounds good to me, I'm happy about that honestly. Don't care if a person is  from Reddit, 4chan, Tumblr or the goddamned moon made out of green cheese or Santa's Workshop, it could be wherever. You like rp, well here's a pearl and lets go do some rping.

 

Go roleplayers!

That's not what I was saying. xD I was saying that that's why Gilgamesh's population in general is so high on that poll, cuz reddit.

Holy. According to this 1 out of every 3 players is a cat.

 

I mean, I knew there were a lot of Miqo'te, but I didn't think they were a third of the population.

 

I could've sworn I ran into more Roegadyn than this survey is saying, but now that I think about it, they could just be standing out in my mind more against the backdrop of never ending waves of kittehs.

something I stumbled across after adding together the genders of each race.

 

seeker- 8.58+10.92  =19.5

mid- 12+6.87        =18.87

keeper- 6.29+9.28   =15.57

high- 8.34+3.62     =11.96

dune- 6.92+2        =8.92

plain- 5.71+1.42    =7.13

sea- 3.41+1.36      =4.77

dusk- 3.39+1.24     =4.63

wild- 3.25+1.15     =4.4

hells- 2.44+1.42    =3.86

 

in case anyone else in interested in a break down from highest to lowest

 

Edit- Amazing how fast the numbers changed since this post shows just how many people are jumping in on this survey
