For those of you who haven't been clued in, put concisely, the proposition I put forward in the following post was that an attempt should be made to land some hard evidence as to how and why players are drawn to discovery. The resulting data should make it easier for us as a community to realise a means of attracting new players.

This poll may well be the first in a series of posts in attempts to gather data on the matter, so please do participate if you notice any further questions despite any similarities.

I am starting this survey with the assumption that the rate of incoming new players has decreased as opposed to the rate of players leaving the server increasing. This poll is also being made without assumptions that discovery's net income of players is in the red due to lack of interest, advertisment, accessibility or otherwise. It's all in the hypothetical stage at present so I ask kindly that you keep any sceptical comments you have in focus.

It is unknown yet as to how long it will take to draw up a conclusion so please do bear with until a clear and reliable set of results can be established.

Your participation would be greatly appreciated.

I found the server from responding to Sargent Gunny's Youtube article. I will be playing as Nosferatu or a modification of that name.

The name comes from Braum Stoker's novel "Dracula." There is doubt about the origin of the word, some say it is ancient Romany for vampire, some say Stoker made it up. In either case, if you need to text me in game, don't bother with the whole word, just use "Nos."

somehow a friend of mine told me about Discovery Freelancer in October 2016.

Grew up on the base game, didn't take long before I found this community and pulled up a chair to stay awhile.

Who remembers the old Lancers' Reactor? Before the site was renewed and essentially abandoned, when it was the proper Freelancer community. Hell, before The Starport became a thing, I think.

I knew most Freelancer mods through it.

I remember the old Lancers Reactor and how Shikoku would be censored to Shi***u. Good times.

Well, not really sure how to vote in this case, but I just saw a post of this on 9gag, and remebered the great times I had on the Hamburg server more than a decade ago and here I am. Smile
