dMw Community Survey- Trial Survey

[Benny]

No reason. Let me see how we can frame the 'pitch in' bit. On the age it was more a question of what are we going to achieve by knowing?Do we change our marketing based on an age demographic? If so can we not use the data we already have from the forum registration?

I think the 'where you found us' could do with more options myself.

We were trying to strike a balance between having people fill in meaningful data and having people skim it and not complete.

The survey falls down on the 1st question for me, none of them are a suitable answer, having the option to add something else might help.

Option for 'Other' added.

All,

Firstly thanks for filling in the survey, in particular the request for more cake that one enterprising respondee submitted. Given the feedback to date and the slight amendments made, we're going to post this in the public section. After the big review with the game leaders a while back this was one of the requests that we've put time in to get done. Whilst we can create and gather data what we can't do is decide what to do with it.

We've asked in a round about way what people hope to achieve from the responses, but now I'm asking directly. Given the data, what do you, the game leaders, intend to do with the response data? You'll find the report grab attached, so what are the next stages from here? We cannot release a survey and then then do nothing with it....answers please.

*ahem.

What do we want?
CHANGE!
When do we want it?
Well, I'm not sure really, maybe later?

Come on guys, whilst I'm happy to help and sponsor this from the community side, I'm not doing it for my benefit. You want your games full, you want the community to grow, jump in. If you think it's a waste of time, say so. Silence is an ugly trait.

bloody heck.. I'm sure I responded to this..

I'll jump on later tonight with an informed response. NF

As I'm not a game leader I guess my priority is looking out for the community as a whole rather than from the perspective of a single game. So first, I'd be interested in seeing if people think we're running things well or not, probably from information gleaned from the general comments section.

Second, discovering if there's anything the feel we could add to make it better i.e. that there is something completely missing and adding it if we can. or conversely if we offer something that nobody wants. The Forum Gallery was an example of that in as much as we didn't know if it was wanted and discovered it wasn't. I'm as happy to dump something that no one sees any value in as I am to add something we're missing.

Third, growing the player base with new members. It will be interesting to see where people have come from and if there's a route we don't know about that we could exploit?

As I say not game specific but important for the general structure and direction of the community.

I'm not a game leader either, but this survey will tell us what direction we need to head toward.

Q1, How did you find dMw?
- This will tell us where we are weak, and where we are strong, does ingame advertising work? do enough? server names.. etc etc. Seems like word of mouth atm, so people are spreading the word about a well admined / maintained server perhaps?

Q2, Are you a supporting member?
- Only really interested in the 'no' answers i suppose, but will hopefully give insight as to the reasons, maybe people are expecting more, or maybe it's simply cash flow issue.

Q3, How often do you play on-line?
- If very frequently, it could help with either determining admin demands or selecting 'game nights' to catch the infrequent players

Q4/Q5 What do you play? / what games are you looking forward to, the next big thing?
- Up and coming games that dMw should support, if there is more interest in FPS for example, do we need to focus more on those game genres.

Q6 Do you play with other clans / communities?
- Could help and see what they have, and what we don't, and vice versa, also good for future comps / matches etc

Q7 Should we run more organized on-line events / scrims / competitions?
-If people want more matches / competitions, then we can grab their interest by announcing that dMw will be arranging something, theres a badge up for grabs, the community feel of representing dMw, and the sheer fun of it

Q8 'Your Thoughts.....'  
-Anything else that we may not of thought of yet, people might want a more active roll within the community

Just my little take on it, oh, and that cake idea sounds like a good one! :flirty:

[Gone_Away]

I Think Snokio has hit the nail on teh head tbh.

We should be taking the results to:

A: Continue to do what works with respect to targeting new members. For example, if WOM is the way people find us, we should encourage or reward those that do.
B: Determine who in the clan devotes a lot of RL to online gaming and look at their potential for Admin / GL or other opportunities to get them actively involved.
C: The idea behind understanding what games people play the most is important. It 80% of our active members like to play sewing simulations then we should look to offer and support it. You know, give the people what they want.
D: Look at where people play when they're not here. See what other clans are offering that is of interest to others.
E: See what percentage of folks want to play matches / comps etc. Look to offer more and again.. Give the people what they want.
