The more people take it, the more interesting the results.

Done.

Nice easy survey.

My curiosity is piqued... I will take this survey

I just took the survey as well. Hopefully alot of people fill out this survey because I think the devs should take a very very hard look at this.

The polls to these questions can really take alot of the guesswork out of what the future players of this game are looking for, and really speed up some of what the beta process is used for.

There, done.

One of the questions asking whether you expect an elder scrolls game in an mmo enviroment or an MMO with Elderscrolls lore (paraphrasing) should probably be read as "which do you prefer".

I found this one to be interesting:

• I am expecting a typical MMO-style game with Elder Scrolls lore and influences
• I am expecting an Elder Scrolls-style game set in an MMO environment
• I believe it will be a fairly equal mix of both
• I have no particular expectations

Agreed ^

I put what I'm expecting, but I'm not overly looking forward to what I'm expecting.

I just completed the survey. I hope the devs completely ignore this survey, or at most render it due consideration.

Filled it out just for fun. Agree with poster above, hopefully they don't take reddit survey results seriously lol.

Why do you say that? I'm sure that there are ways the polls can be skewed in some way, but even so I think if they were to take this idea and expand upon it, perhaps make an official survey on the website, then it could be something extremely helpful and useful in the development of this game.

I dont know how relevant the questions are to the actual development of the game.  However, you will be able to draw interesting correlations between different aspects of the game.  For example, people who are interested in "X" alliance are also  interested in massive pvp.  You will get to see where certain populations (PvP or PvE) are going to congregate.

Depending on the actual completion rate, you will see if people are interested in the game because its an MMO or because of the lore/ IP loyalty.

The results should be interesting.

Too many pointless lore questions at the beginning.  What difference does it make whether I prefer Argonians over Bretons, etc? Almost didn't bother getting to the rest of it.

It's pretty important PvP wise. I know that if I'll play TESO, I'll choose my faction based on my favorite race and not PvP balance.

The results of the poll/census are completed.

I predicted the results for alliance split would be 40/30/30.......EP/DC/AD.  I was right.

Our fears are also confirmed......most people interested in this game have only played Skyrim.   

No real info on what alliance is predominantly PvP focused.   It all seems to be evenly distributed, just like all other MMO's.

AD gets the shaft though.

What about the previous polls that showed DC as the most popular faction? Do we just discard those now that you've found a poll where you were right? What if we get a new poll that again shows DC to be most popular? Or what if it happens to be AD?

Also, what about those other MMORPGs where the populations turned out opposite the pre-launch polls?

Still, an interesting poll. Of particular note I was surprised how the rogue/stealth type classes which are usually highly popular in MMOs were one of the least popular archetypes in this one. Also very interesting how housing is the least wanted feature given how often people cry out for it on these boards.
