So the guys at the subreddit /r/ffxiv are running a survey to find out more on how people plan to approach their character creation and development. With over 2.000 respondents it's safe to say this is statistically significant, so there are some interesting finds. (in fact, it made me decide on Miqo'te for my final race after all - Hyur Midlander is even more common!)
Apparently the poll has been spammed/manipulated for the last 15~30 minutes. The amount of miqo'te seeker of the sun, Twin Adder (gridania's GC), White Mage, Weaver and Midgarsormr respondents increased dramatically. Seekers of the sun were lower than Hyur Midlander, now they double. Midgarsormr was like 4~5% and is now the number one server. White Mage was 14% now is over 30% (unrealistic, seriously) and Weavers were 11% and are now 31%… Also the total amount of respondents jumped from 2k-ish to over 3k in that period.
"Just so everyone's aware - there was a hijacked response for about 450: - Female - Mi'qote Seeker of the Sun - Midgarsormr Server - Conjurer - Weaver - Fisher - Gridania Grand Company
I'm able to edit it in the saved responses spreadsheet, but it doesn't change the public results page. I'll post some more accurate results (with the excessive multiple submissions removed) in this comment a little later. But if you visualize with those 450 responses removed, you'll get a more accurate idea."
OH HELL NO!! …….. white mages are way to comon! damit!!…. that cant be right! and it seems gilgamesh will be the most popular server with double on leviathan! still second place isnt bad
That poll was taken on Reddit. Over there they had already chosen Gilgamesh as their official server. But in other researches it was shown that Leviathan was second biggest server, with very close numbers to Gilgamesh.
