I was just wondering about the survey that popped up when I logged on today. I completed it, then got to the City News. Did anyone else complete this survey? It never popped up before, and there is (as far as I know) no thread that speaks about it. Not even from Ben. Of course I had the choice to skip it, but I decided not to. Does this provide Ben with some information from detectives? Is he going to improve the game, or just keep a fact-file on some of the questions answered?

Still, I'm not sure if the survey is brand new, or an old thing that people have completed months ago. Wouldn't there be a thread somewhere? Anyway, I was just wondering...

Thank you very much to everybody who did fill out the survey. It is providing me with a better picture of who plays the game, and hopefully will help me provide better service.

I plan on adding new surveys fairly regularly, they're a good way for me to get player feedback. In particular, I will occasionally use surveys to test interest in upcoming feature ideas I have.

Please do. I love this game, but I am also happy to have more changes to make this game better.

I have a great idea. Give people an incentive to fill out the surveys like a special character item or cash that can be used to buy stuff from the detective store.

I disagree Chelsea. I am happily willing to spend 2-3 minutes filling out a survey because I love the game and want to see it continue and improve, not to get free stuff. I hope that most people feel the same way.

I'm with you Arabella! I definitely dont need any incentive,and dont want anything in return for filling out the survey! I'm happy to fill it out,simply because I love the game Sleuth,and as you said, want to see it continue and improve! :)

Great idea Ben, I think knowing your target market is a good idea. Even for simple things like determining the server time. :)

I also disagree. The survey, like Ben says, is for feedback and information, and filling it out for an incentive like free money and stuff is not the whole point. I liked filling it out, because it was clear and definite. I'm hoping for Ben to post more, actually. If there are new features coming, I'm sure it's an enough incentive. Actually, that was what I thought the incentive was from the beginning. As long as the survey is here, I'm sure Ben will find plenty of information regarding the detectives who regularly play Sleuth.
