[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 3270414, member: 10177"] The thing about market surveys is that they are only as good as the responses you get. So people that didn't stay with 2e, or jump onto the 3E bandwagon, could not be reached for comment, literally. Plus even I have been shocked at how many websites, and groups, that are about other edtions of D&D. Those sites and groups are completely ignorant of 3E, because they see no reason to buy something they have no interest in. Plus I know thousands are playing C&C. I was kind of bumbed for a while because only a couple of dozen of us post at the C&C boards. Then one of the board members showed me links to a bunch of sites where groups were playing C&C and having nothing to do with the messageboards, so I felt better. Then people started sporadically showing up on the boards saying how they have "discovered C&C". Like just yesterday a guy did just that, and then two or three more jumped into his thread to announce their existance. The only other evidence to suggest a lot of people is I know the Trolls are making more money off of C&C then they ever did on anything they did for d20. Just to buy the printers they bought would have required thousands of copies of the C&C PH and M&T to have been sold. Many thousands. So yeah, it may not be a blip big enough for WOTC to worry about or pay attention to. But it does exist, and how big it is cannot be determined, only estimated. [/QUOTE]
