Just one question... How did you find us..

Outsider ... :shock:
 
Almost completed the survey. The only problem I have with it is how it deals with the administration. GM's (Game Masters) are real people and vary in that same manner. Some are harsh some are not, some seem to favor japanese players othera objective and some just seem like they dont give a shit. So it is kind of hard to give a straight answer when it is if anything inconsistent.
 
I've actually followed MMoG's for some time. I played FFXI on Carbuncle previously. For this survey I was looking for a server community with a fairly regular particpation rate (and in a game I was moderately familiar with).

You had a good looking message board with a fair amount of traffic/membership.
 
Is it just me, or do they seem to ask the same question over and over?

EDIT:
Wierd, the servey annoyed me enough that I stopped on page 3. I never do that, but I cant handle the same thing OVER and OVER. :?
 
They do ask same things over and over. Its really pissing me off, especially as i got to the bottom of the first page and see a "Next Page" button.
 
I feel like my IQ dropped..
 
Repetecy is one test to see if people are honest, and when looking for info on certain topic areas its the most accurate way to take information. Still that was waaaay to fricking long.

I use to go there :) Probably one of the few people I do know in the gaming department heard me speak of this website and of the community.
 
I did enough behavioral science surveys in college to recognize some of the question patterns. I know repeating and rephrasing key questions is important to getting one's true opinion on an issue, but I think you guys did that a bit too much...

omg... yes, long! lol! X D I stopped there too. X 3 Is this a sign... telling us that...

>_>
<_<

We actually DO have lives, and don't spend most of our time filling out quizzes. :D YAY!!! But its also kinda sad I don't have the "Attention Span" to have lasted me the whole quiz. X 3 Its just... the repetetive-ness starts to bore me.
 
i made half the page before giving up... they could at least rephrase the questions a bit so i could pretend im not losing interest.
 
There are about eight unique questions, spread over about seven million questions. I think maybe 2% of people will complete this thing.

*Revels in the fact he is part of the 2%* It beat calculus.....
 
That was boring, I see what you all mean, but I completed it.
 
I got through it ,but I do get the feeling they are fishing for a particlar answer. :shock:
 
I did it, but it was extremely annoying answering the same questions over and over and over.
