[QUOTE="Ibrandul, post: 8056465, member: 6871736"] I'm not a statistician. So maybe I do misunderstand how statistics work. If so, I'm happy to learn. There are a [I]lot[/I] of people playing on Roll20. The site has more than four million users. So one tenth of one percent of them is not a tiny number. Even if the vast majority of those four million accounts don't play in any given quarter, one tenth of one percent of them is [I]at least[/I] 100 people. Let's say I'm looking for a group on Roll20 to to join, to play my favorite obscure RPG. Let's say that last quarter there were only 20 people on Roll20 playing in campaigns of my favorite obscure RPG. And let's say that now there are 120 people on Roll20 playing in campaigns of my favorite obscure RPG. It's a lot easier to join a group on Roll20 to play my favorite obscure RPG now than it was before. The increase of less than a tenth of one percent (of total players of all RPGs on Roll20) has made a big difference for that game, and for me. What exactly am I misunderstanding about statistics here? [/QUOTE]
