[QUOTE="Wisdom Penalty, post: 4606595, member: 13287"] I'll start with the standard caveat that all internet polls are craptacular when it comes to providing any meaningful data. (And yes, Psion, this even applies to polls that display results you don't agree with.) That said, I bet this poll [i]is[/i] fairly accurate when judging the leanings of the EN World community. I suspect this community is the second toughest* one to crack to get people to go with 4e. EN World was, and in many ways still is, a site founded on 3e and dedicated to 3e gaming. We've seen some astounding numbers from Morrus about new registrations since the 4e launch - something like 20% of our community has joined in the past six months, whereas we've been around 8+ years. I'm sure many of those folks are hapless 4e geeks looking for a home. Whether they stuck around after witnessing the Edition War...who can say? What is interesting to me is that there seems to be a large portion of gamers who want nothing to do with 3e, yet do not like 4e either. And these folks are heading off into "aberrant" gaming systems. Probably good for our overall hobby, and yet bad for WotC...which could, in turn, be bad for our overall hobby. Hmm...circular logic. The whole thing confuses me. Anyway, you know what they say about death, taxes, nerd rage, and internet polls. WP * The toughest community for 4e to penetrate would be those hardy souls at Dragonsfoot. [/QUOTE]
