[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9629940, member: 52734"] I too would like to see D&D do another survey or two of its fan base, especially since the new core books have been dropped. Beyond UA's, I can't recall when the last "general" survey was done, and as I recall, it got pulled in less than 24 hours (the infamous "Do you like WotC" question). I would hope they wouldn't only break it into player age, but on purchase uptake - from what I have seen a lot of the younger folks access D&D by digital means and very rarely purchase physical (or digital) copies and just use various web sites to look up information - something that doesn't give WotC any money. They really need to put assumptions aside and be looking at what and where things are being bought - and by who. (I suspect they may be using DDB backend data for that, if they have someone even looking - but I strongly suspect DDB data is only part of the picture and may be warping what's really going on out in meatspace).
