[QUOTE="Dice4Hire, post: 5345091, member: 55066"] This is an interesting question and one Enworld is not well set up to judge. I think the older the edition, the more offline players there are, and that makes them harder to count or even notice. Also, this is one corner, and that also changes how things are viewed. Foir example, I play games via Yahoogroups, but nearly all of the postings for gamers here are either real-time online play or face to face groups. This is not a good site for Yahoo based gaming. This site is heavier on 3.5 than a lot, I would judge as many many people joined this site during the 3.x era. And indeed this is/has been a 3.5 centric site for a long time. <Is that enough qualifications yet?> With all that said, I would guess that the earlier editions (2e and back) are relatively stable numbers of people, however the percentages have changed due to fluctuations in the total number of gamers. 3.x PF and 4E have all fluctuated a lot in the last decade. Right now 40% 4E 35% 3.5 35% Pathfinder 20% other editions So 20% or so overlap of people who play different versions. [/QUOTE]
