    The Daedalus Project.

    Lots of stuff to dig into, but here’s some highlights:

    • 20% join because a real life friend invited them
    • Only 4% come via random invite
    • 26% have been in guilds for longer than 2 years
    • 59% join guilds where they know someone in RL
    • Women were twice as likely to be in guilds with romantic partners
    • 20% of people pick a class and always go for it in game after game
    • 17% go for class abilities instead (hardest, crowd control, overpowered, etc)
    • 11% go for the aesthetic of a player race
    • 67% have a preferred class type.
    • On average players have 8.7 characters on their account, but most everyone can identify a “main”
    • Genre: Both genders like fantasy best, but men also like futuristic spaceships a lot.
    • More people like being a vampire than a vampire hunter, but women are more into being a vampire than men are.
    • 80% of people would rather be in the least popular faction.
