Serenity Steele Dynamic Data Distribution	Posted - 2007.09.23 21:26:00 - [1] An idea I've been cooking up for some time is to survey the Entire EvE Player base (well enough to get a statistically significant result). Before launching the survey, I thought it would be a good idea to give everyone a chance to ask their question. Your question(s) can be anything you find interesting, from Economic, Military, Ships, Territory, Famous people, GTC, CCP. So the question for you, dear forum professional is this: What question(s) did you always want the answer to in EvE? Which questions will be selected Anything you can think of that isn't an arsehat (IMO) question. If English language isn't your strong point, no problem, I'll help out where I can. If you want to translate the survey to another language, just post here. They'll be grouped together by some logical categorisation. How will the answers be recorded? The answer options will be either: - Multiple choice (option a,b,c,d,e,f) - On a scale (Rate 1-5, where 1 is agree, 5 is disagree) - A Drop-down list (single options) Where will the answers be shown? - Expect some sexy graphs - Answers will be cross referenced for more interesting results. - Aggregated results will be shown on a public web site (tba.) - No individual responses will be given out. Then what? The survey will be re-sent at set intervals, to measure trends (Say 3 months). Oh oh .. I can't think of a question! Well you've got a week to think of one. I plan to collate the questions and survey 1st October. Er .. why? Good question, but a bit of an arsehat one IMO. Seriously - because it's interesting!

What are your feelings on the stargate system in eve, or would you prefer an "open" warp to system, but which takes you across the systems you would have had to go across anyway? 1. Wish it was more like starwars/ startrek. 2. Not particularly bothered. 3. I like it how it is. 4. WTFNOOBGTFO.

Serenity Steele Dynamic Data Distribution	Posted - 2007.09.23 22:21:00 - [15] Thanks Shardale. The survey tool supports logic paths, so the 'If you answered yes...' part will be handled automatically by the survey and not require any thinking for the player filling it in :) Eve Strategic Maps - Outpost Alert - Sovereign Systems - Alliance Rank

The survey tool supports logic paths, so the 'If you answered yes...' part will be handled automatically by the survey and not require any thinking for the player filling it in :) In which case my question about player run businesses should be split into multiple threads then. One for yes, one for no. So that 4/5 choices could be asked on each. This would allow a lot more information to be gathered on what people think of their investment if they've made it. Such as: Very Satisfied, definitely would invest again Somewhat satisfied, may invest again. Somewhat dis-satisfied, prob won't invest again Very dis-satisfied, will not be investing in an IPO again I GOT SCAMMED! IPO's need to die!

Daedalus Project No, I hadn't seen it. Thanks for the link! I just ran through the surveys and they're interesting from an anthropological perspective on MMOs, but as such, too generic to provide information of the type I'm interested in gleaning about EvE. At least I can avoid overlap :) Eve Strategic Maps - Outpost Alert - Sovereign Systems - Alliance Rank
Dirk Magnum Red Light Enterprises Eastern Star Federation	Posted - 2007.09.24 06:43:00 - [22] 1. Can there be a smattering of multi-jump stargates in Empire? I mean like a gate or two in the Empire regions that will take you from one side of that region to the other, or just about. Maybe there could be like a fee to use such gates that increases based on the size of the ship you're in. 2. When will we get modules that can convert a slot power type to another slot power type? For that matter, when will we get modules that can convert a launcher to a turret and vice versa?
Shinhan Phoenix Knights Dark Nebula Galactic Empire	Posted - 2007.09.24 06:51:00 - [23] I love Daedalus project, it has lotsa interesting stuff there. Btw, I'd like to change a little Shadarle's questions: Add to first question E) No, I am aware of IPO's but I dont trust anybody whom I cant pod in RL. (Not my position, a corpmate said it. It can be expressed differently, but there needs to be an option for people who are aware of IPOs but have never considered participating due to trust issues) Add to fourth question 4) E) Ratting Add new questions: If you answered E) How many officer spawns did you find? A) None B) 1 C) 2-4 D) 5-10 E) More than 10 Add question: If you answered C) Do you have T2 BPO? Do you do invention? --- Also, first post had a question "Do you read forums" which is pretty stupid because one can not answer such question with No, as the question is asked on forums. --- My questions: Quickfit or EVE Fitting Tool? A) Quickfit B) EFT C) Both D) Neither E) What are Quickfit and EFT? Which races ships do you fly most? A) Gallente B) Caldari C) Amarr D) Minmatar -- Selling apples, 1 signature each. ѼѼѼѼѼѼѼ

Haizum The New Eve Order	Posted - 2007.09.24 07:22:00 - [26] Originally by: Shinhan Also, first post had a question "Do you read forums" which is pretty stupid because one can not answer such question with No, as the question is asked on forums. I put that one down as I want to know the answer, but Serenity didn't mention the method this survey was being carried out - They may if they think it's worth it, include a link to it in the ingame news or another eve-wide method, that would reach more players than the forums. But because this might be difficult to achieve, and of course total blanket coverage will be hard, I included the second question which is more appropriate to a forum-asked question but still roughly answers what I wanted to know. I do hope this clears things up for you. --------------- If you are ferocious in battle, remember to be magnanimous in victory. - Lt. Col. Tim Collins

No, I have no interest at all in exploration. Not as yet but I am or will be training for the skills soonÖ.. Yes, I pursue the following mini-profession(s). (can check more than one). 'Plex/Encounter etc. Hacking. Archaeology. Hidden mining belts. Gas cloud harvesting. On a scale of 1 to 10, how rewarding do you find exploration where 1 is a pathological aversion and 10 a passionate obsession? [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] How satisfied are you by the current exploration mechanics? Very! I love it. Not bad but could do with a tweak. Meh, so-so. It really needs some more work. Not at all, I hate it. Where do you Explore? (can check more than one) 0.5 and Above. 0.1 to 0.4. 0.0. Choose the most appropriate phrase that fits how you go about exploring. I always explore with a group or gang. I almost always explore with a group or gang. I explore with a group and by myself split evenly. I only explore with a group occasionally. I rarely explore with a group. I never explore with a group. These last two questions I feel could be better used combined but I've kept them separate for the purpose of clarity. How how much of your time in Eve on average, do you spend in exploration? 1 hour or less. 1 - 3 Hours. 3 - 6 Hours. 6 or more hours. As a corollary of your time spent in exploration, how many sites do you complete? 1 site or less. 1 - 3 sites. 3 - 6 sites. 6 - 9 sites. 9 or more sites. Can't think of any more right now but I may add some more later, or others can.

Yes 2). No Q). As a new player do you understand how the criminal flagging system works? (eg what happens if you are flagged with an aggression timer etc) 1). Yes 2). No Q). Have you ever taken the time to look over any of the guides or rules in the EVE forums, or on the Official EVE website?, If Yes do you have any suggestions as to how to make these guides easier to understand? If No, why did you decide to not bother with learning or looking over the basics that might help to keep you alive a bit longer? I have aimed these questions at new users as I think there are a lot of things that new users could read and learn and it would help to stop a lot of the mis-understandings that happen ingame and in the forums. BTW. Your report on the outposts that is sent to a players email adress is great, keep up the great work. Oh can people sent you news on outposts that have been lost etc or do you have an official way of getting that info? Old Enough To Know Better,Yet Young Enough to Still Learn?!

Like the gallente election and the amarr emperor to name the two most epic failures. I'm not sure how to best gather the answers to this question, as it looks like a question to CCP, not a question to the players of EvE. Can you please clarify with some example answers? Ideally like a [1 important - 5 not important] scale. It may help by asking what players perceive as being the key reasons that it is difficult.

If you could visit such areas without needing to be in an alliance or have negotiated with an alliance for standings I would do so. 3) No compelling economic reason to do so - heavy losses outweigh any benefits. 4) No compelling economic reason - exploration, lvl 4 missions, empire mining covers all my isk needs 5) Lacks infrastructure or enough places of relative safety. If there were more outposts or POS's I could use to log off or avoid untenable encounters in I would visit more. 6) I lack the combat skills to make it. 7) I'm a loaner and there is too much group focus; if a loaner could make it out there I'd go.

It's not necessary to survey the entire universe Problem with such sites are that the sample will be far from random (as the confidence calculator you linked requires). That is, only some subset of people will see the ad, and only some percentage of them will respond to the survey. It gets even worse if you don't have info what kind of percentages of people saw the ad, and what percentage didn't bother to answer. For couple feasiable ways: 1) Get CCP to put ingame-news add item akin to'Participate in Survey and win a billion' (and don't advertise elsewhere). 2) Get random sample of players (probably doable via character_id), and evemail them such request to participate. Quite large portion might be unsubscribed accounts, and a few might skip answering, but at least you'll know the percentages better. Then again; in order getting interesting result this doesn't need to be exact science, and one can observe some trends even from non-random samples. -Lasse

(Just so people understand the question in the context you mean it) Sure, can do. The Wikipedia Entry I first looked up when i heared this term about a year ago, describes it best: Metagaming is a broad term usually used to define any strategy, action or method used in a game which transcends a prescribed ruleset, uses external factors to affect the game, or goes beyond the supposed limits or environment set by the game. Hope that helped to clarify it. Ecid ________ A great man once said: "Rabble-Rabble" and "check my Corp-Ticker". Ive you come a across him, make sure to join his ranks (if your not german)
