    Default Ghallanda Represent

    If you’ve spent more time playing on Ghallanda than any other server over the past three months, then be sure to represent the server in this poll: Which server do you play on?

    Right now Ghallanda is third from the bottom, barely beating out Orien and Wayfinder as the least active server. Be sure to participate if you want to be heard!

    Are you going to be doing a standard deviation or anything?
    I took a poll of this on our evil sister site a while ago and Ghallanda was #3 most populated. (year ago?)

    IMO you can stumble into some pretty wide error...

    I was hoping to get a large enough response to keep the margin of error low to keep the analysis simple. I thought that would be possible since the poll is open within 30 days of Ravenloft launching, as well as during Black Friday/Cyber Monday when I suspect forum use will surge. I've also done some cross-posting between the varies polls I'm running to act as a force multiplier, since keeping a poll on page 1 means more eyeballs on it. Given the response rate so far, I'll be lucky if I can keep the margin of error to 5%.

    What is it that makes that poll important for anything?

    Here and elsewhere like /r/ddo there are constant questions of which server has more/fewer people. This poll is trying to answer that question. It may not be perfect, but right now it's the most current data available.

    A few months ago, there was a huge thread that servers were dead and players were calling for server mergers: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...ter-community?

    While this poll can't show a true representation of players on each server, it can demonstrate relative server population (ie, which has more or fewer active players).

    Not in any reliable way no. It will only say how many have voted for each server. If you think that is a valid number for the relative population on each server you are wrong.
