Message: <blockquote data-quote="CleverNickName" data-source="post: 9251389" data-attributes="member: 50987">UPDATE:  Survey Results as of January 2024Sorry for the long delay...this sort of fell off my radar for um, three years.  And in that time, hundreds of new votes came in, and most of them were for 3rd Edition.  How did that skew the results of 2021?Here are the survey results as they stand in 2024:[ATTACH=full]344595[/ATTACH]The edition that most people have played: still AD&D 1E, at 83.8%.  D&D 3E is gaining on it, though, up 0.4% to to 82.4%The edition that most people are still playing: still B/X, at 12.8%.  D&D 3E is gaining on it also, up 0.3% to 11.0%The edition that most people didn't play: still OD&D, at 65.6%.  None of the others even come close.The edition that was most favorably regarded: AD&D 1E again, at 86%.The edition that was most neutrally regarded: Basic D&D, at 18.0%.  In 2021 this record was held by B/X D&D, at 17.8%.The edition that was most unfavorably regarded: D&D 4E, at 36.1%.  This is unchanged from last year.I think it's interesting that out of all 1,452 votes across all 8 editions of D&D that were surveyed, a full 25% of them were for 3rd Edition--and most of those votes came in a year or more after the survey was first opened.  And I think it's unfair that 4E is doomed to languish alone and ignored, with the same 180 votes that it had 3 years ago, because edition warriors couldn't behave themselves and got the thread closed.  It wasn't my favorite edition, but it deserved a better legacy than that.</blockquote>
