Wizards Website Survey

[Mistwell]

I was only asked a couple of questions. I think it's because we currently game on a computer (using Klooge Werks), and they are more interested in people who game in person. I dunno.

Well, the follow-up questions would have been silly to ask, given they were all about your usage of DDI.

Your use, or potential use. If you are not a subscriber, but might become one if they include the right features, the survey is still relevant.

Those who aren't playing D&D at all, though, I can see excluding.

I'd like to see a full digital tabletop as being useful. I suspect we'd have an all-mods campaign going soon after

I guess WotC doesn't like me. I clicked the "Used to play D&D but not anymore" option and then after that the only question they asked me was "where did you find the survey from (EN World), my age an location. Oh well. Guess I don't want to help you either.

Same here. I can kinda see it, but it sure doesn't seem like they're trying to lure me in either.

I think they are going with Hardback book editions of the game.

In that case, they should try to get the date correct, at least. The first 1e hardback was released in 1977 (the MM), the 1e PH was released in 1978, and the 1e DMG in 1979.

First is when the game really took off on its own. The wide spread press of books tends to sell better than box sets. Had basic been sold in Hardback as it later was in the Rules Compendium format it would have done way better than it did IMO.

Eh, I don't know about that. The "classic D&D" boxed sets sold an awful lot -- they were everywhere, back in the day, and there were a ton of printings for them. Without hard numbers that's all guess-work, though.

And I think you would see a lot of people posting "I have four hours free on Thrusday evening, anyone want to play" and get people signed up and bam, you have a game. Much like any online gaming.

Heck, I'd do it now if more people used Klooge Werks. Sometimes my group feels we are some of the only people using it, despite it being awesome software to use for 4e D&D.

Thats the magic right there. It is exactly what I'm looking for. I do a lot of face to face gaming and no electronic gaming, but this might entice me to run or play some.

Perhaps it is not within the scope of this particular online survey but I'd like to play D&D and cast my 'vote'. Just because I am not playing it now doesn't mean I haven't in the past or will never again...
Whether or not I have plans to subscribe to the DDI or am currently playing D&D at the moment doesn't mean I'm dog meat. I subscribe to other online programs very similar to the DDI and might have something nice to suggest.
Just thought it was kind of a quick 'thanks, but no thanks.' answer for past and future D&D players.

I think my favorite question in the survey was how much I trusted WotC to be on time with their online content. I had a good chuckle at that one.

In fairness, they've recently been pretty good. Articles go up when they are supposed to, compendium updates on schedule, the CB was done by the end of January, etc. I think the more recent pronouncements have been a lot more realistic.

 

[Mark]

Was I the only one who found the version list a bit off?

First Edition (1974)
Second Edition (1989)
Third Edition (2000)
Fourth Edition (2007)

Do you mean the part about 4E coming out 2 years instead of eight months ago?
