Also, no computers generate truly random numbers, which is a real problem. Computers that generate the most random-acting numbers sense environmental changes caused by fluctuations in the atmosphere.
However, EverQuest like all games, uses a pseudo-random number generating algorithm, and must, by definition, fail at the serial randomness test, which compares all identical lengths of digits and weighs them against other sequences of the same length.
Go to
Random.ORG, a site dedicated to presenting with the most seemingly random numbers. The numbers are not determined by a set algorithm, instead they are sensed.
In the following sequence, for any string length,
L there should be an identical number of occurrences as the total number of digits approaches infinity. And as the digit length increases by 1, the digits should be ten times less frequent.
Sample of single digits:
0:205x, 1:207x , 2:214x, 7:199x, 9:189x
Sample of double digits:
00:19x, 01:20x, 69:26x, 99:17x
The sample size of triple digits is small, although they do exhibit some of the same random properties.
Sample of triple digits:
100:4x, 999:1x, 434:2x, 901:1x

Try the same test on ANY pseudorandom algorithm, it'll fail.
