QUESTION:&lt;br /&gt;
Assuming the kinds of activities&lt;br /&gt;
you&amp;#039;ve suggested were available in&lt;br /&gt;
Habitat, and knowing our members as&lt;br /&gt;
well as you do, about what percentage&lt;br /&gt;
of them do think would become regular&lt;br /&gt;
Habitat players?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Probably every Phantasy Guild member&lt;br /&gt;
(near 1000) plus a great deal of games-&lt;br /&gt;
men on Q-Link. &amp;quot;Regular&amp;quot; users? I&amp;#039;d say&lt;br /&gt;
about 70% of the people I know online.&lt;br /&gt;

perhaps 20% most would be frustrated&lt;br /&gt;
with the time involved, or the actions&lt;br /&gt;
of other players, or would not have the&lt;br /&gt;
imagination needed with no preset mini&lt;br /&gt;
adventures to remain long&lt;br /&gt;

I think that about 60% minimum of our&lt;br /&gt;
members will subscribe to Habitat...&lt;br /&gt;
If there is plenty of activity there,&lt;br /&gt;
I think that about 60% of them will&lt;br /&gt;
play regularly...which, I believe&lt;br /&gt;
comes to 36% of the total membership..&lt;br /&gt;
HOWEVER, I&amp;#039;m notoriously optimistic&lt;br /&gt;
about things like this :D&lt;br /&gt;

Hmmm, &amp;quot;regular&amp;quot; Habitat Players....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That&amp;#039;s difficult, but perhaps 20-30%&lt;br /&gt;
of the adults might take part on&lt;br /&gt;
occasion (regular), just to meet other&lt;br /&gt;
friends there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think the younger members would&lt;br /&gt;
enjoy it, but unless they have&lt;br /&gt;
carte blanche on the use of Q-Link,&lt;br /&gt;
I think they&amp;#039;d be restricted due to its&lt;br /&gt;
potential for addiction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not knowing what you mean by &amp;quot;regular&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
I&amp;#039;m somewhat at a loss.&lt;br /&gt;

  Percentage? Hard to figure..&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
  Number-wise, you could probably pull&lt;br /&gt;
  as much or more usage as the Casino&lt;br /&gt;
  does. (2,000-3,000 hours/night.)&lt;br /&gt;

I can&amp;#039;t give it in a percentage. There&lt;br /&gt;
are thousands of people out there who&lt;br /&gt;
lurk around in message boards and are&lt;br /&gt;
never seen by anyone.&lt;br /&gt;
I&amp;#039;d guess half or three-fourths of the&lt;br /&gt;
people who frequent PC. More than in&lt;br /&gt;
Casino.&lt;br /&gt;

I&amp;#039;d say a very high percentage, perhaps&lt;br /&gt;
70-80%.  (This would probably depend on&lt;br /&gt;
the cost of the disk when it is released&lt;br /&gt;
and could be reduced about 5% from when&lt;br /&gt;
plus time was 6 cents/min.)&lt;br /&gt;

At first, about 50% would be regulars.&lt;br /&gt;
I think all would look into this.&lt;br /&gt;

In the end, I think 20-30% would be abou&lt;br /&gt;

THis is a tough call..&lt;br /&gt;
I would guess, about 30% of the REGULAR&lt;br /&gt;
Q-Link avarage users will join and use&lt;br /&gt;
Habitat regularly.  I woul have to add&lt;br /&gt;
that if the features I have suggested&lt;br /&gt;
were added I think 100% of the&lt;br /&gt;
Role Playing Gamers would join and use&lt;br /&gt;
Habitat regularly.&lt;br /&gt;

  Initial usage would be very high, but&lt;br /&gt;
unless there were a way to maintain&lt;br /&gt;
interest, I feel it would taper off.&lt;br /&gt;
  As a percentage, I&amp;#039;d be hard pressed&lt;br /&gt;
to make an estimate, but the CASINO&lt;br /&gt;
data might be a good indicator.&lt;br /&gt;

ten to thirty percent, I think.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
however, I think it is more probable&lt;br /&gt;
that you&amp;#039;ll get a steady influx of first&lt;br /&gt;
time users that will play it for&lt;br /&gt;
several hours a day, a couple of days&lt;br /&gt;
a week, for a few weeks... then either&lt;br /&gt;
cut way back or stop using it entirely.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
right now, finding out what all the&lt;br /&gt;
things do (and what your avatar does)&lt;br /&gt;
seems to be the most entertaining&lt;br /&gt;
thing.  once you reach saturation on&lt;br /&gt;
that, it would take a lot of interest&lt;br /&gt;
to get people to continue playing.&lt;br /&gt;

:&lt;br /&gt;
 Figures published by one of the&lt;br /&gt;
 creators of AD&amp;amp;D indicate that around&lt;br /&gt;
 90% of the regular role playing gamers&lt;br /&gt;
 are males between the ages of 17 and&lt;br /&gt;
 25.  I would expect that over half&lt;br /&gt;
 in this bracket would spend as much&lt;br /&gt;

 The members that frequent the bar and&lt;br /&gt;

 the other rooms cater to different&lt;br /&gt;
