The Daedalus Project: Number of Accounts


	« Why We Quit \| Main \| Description of Personality Factors » Number of Accounts [printer-friendly version] Overall, 71% of the respondents have only 1 account, and 22% have two accounts. The rest have more than 2 accounts. Female players were more likely to have a second account than male players (1.48 as opposed to 1.34). And age was positively correlated with number of accounts owned.

You wouldn´t happen to have a more detailed breakdown of player populations in this survery, would you? It´d be interesting to do a screeplot and see what (if any) segments break out of the average age/#accounts correlation. Posted by: Tom on September 20, 2004 2:53 PM Interesting how as the age progresses more accounts are made. Does this mean that as you age you prefer to start a new account, or you feel daring enough to try to break the rules and start another account? Posted by: Josh on March 16, 2005 12:39 PM I am really curious about the number of players that are quitting SWG due to the recient "Combat upgrade" done in that game. Is there anyway for you to find these numbers? Posted by: Spectre on May 20, 2005 4:23 PM I must say that I would also be very interested in knowing that figure of SWG cancelled accounts due to new combat upgrade. Posted by: on November 17, 2005 4:54 AM I'd third that .. I only restarted my SWG account a few days ago due to the NGE (Upgrade) after being away over a year. Posted by: Rico Holmes on November 17, 2005 5:28 PM I really would like to see this survey with EVE-Online included. I know that EVE is a game that motivates players to use more than 1 account. i.e: one account you use to mining, and other you can use to escort/transport your mine's ship. Besides that CCP, is always encouraging their clients with promos like those: http://www.eve-online.com/news/newsOfEve.asp?newsID=340 Posted by: Jovan on April 10, 2006 10:55 AM Post a comment Name: Email: (optional, and not displayed) Comments: Remember info?
