True. I have been surprised by the overwhelming response for yes from the player base. Whether it matters at all or not, and yes lots of people don’t go on the forums, but that’s a pretty solid number of votes.

Lots of people who never played on Blue pre-expansions and have discovered on Green that they don’t actually like classic EQ unless both Kunark and Velious are released and the population is low across all 3 continents.

Also lots of people like OP who would jump at the chance to be able to farm plat and valuable loot on both servers simultaneously for yet a second time.

players dont matter, are you new here?

The poll is to show theirs is a significant interest in Teal. Point proven.

phr0sty, you don't read. Try this calculator if you don't know how people can poll thousands to get info on hundreds of thousands https://www.checkmarket.com/sample-size-calculator/

600 votes out of 1800 or even 3600 is a sample reliable to the 99th percentile with only a 5% margin of error (when it's 70% to 30%.) Fact.

You're left with your "OP is a bad man - no proof needed" and "I define classic, and current status is classic."

Haven't heard much else from opposition besides a lack of understanding of statistics/math.

Let me put this into terms you might understand. I wanted to find out how many people out of 1800 liked Mexican food in a city where Mexican food is very popular, so I asked 600 of them what their preference was: 445 of them said pizza, 145 of them said Chinese, and only 10 of them said Mexican. Why didn't more people that I interviewed like Mexican food? Because I only asked people outside of Papa Johns and Panda Express.

You can't assume that EVERYONE on Green will come to the forums. Forum users and non forum users are different demographics potentially with different thought patterns, so your confidence level is nowhere near 99%. If everyone on the server was presented with the mandatory poll upon login, you could possibly assume a number that high. You are not good at demographics.

Doesn't deny I never owned Tranix Crown, GEBs, FBSS, and can't confirm any"cash" camp I live at at except he knows I camped a manastone once because I am selling one...

"OP is a bad man - no proof needed" is a bad argument for so many reasons.

REOPEN TEAL. Make Antonica Great Again!

Not a bad argument at all. In fact, it’s the most important argument because it illuminates your true motivations for why you want a second server.

The Drawbacks of Using Panel Respondents as Your Target Audience

The three main drawbacks of using a survey panel are:

Nonprobablity Sampling

Because the respondents are chosen in a nonrandom manner (forum dwellers only), 
some members of the population have no chance of being included. This presents the
problem of calculating how well the sample represents the population as a whole.

Data Quality

Since respondents are incentivized to complete a survey, their motives are not 
altruistic. Because they may not be vested in your cause or goal, these responses may 
be of a lesser data quality.

Duplicate Responses

Sometimes a panel company will not have a large enough pool to draw from for a 
particular demographic in which case they will partner with another panel company to 
fill the order. If a respondent is signed up with both panels duplicate responses can 
occur.

Most panel companies are vested in providing high quality responses since this is vital 
for them to keep repeat business. There will however, be some questionable responses. 
The key is to choose a reputable company and to take a close look at the data you 
get back to weed out the outliers and duplicate responses.

my only regret is that I have but one no vote to give for this thread
