I'm curious about play styles on servers and data centers as I doubt it's a perfectly even distribution, so here go some questions to try to shed some light on this. Answer any or all or none.
- What server (and data center) do you mostly play on?
- Would you say your server has more of a hardcore, casual, or RP emphasis? Or a combination of both? Or something else? Or is that not possible to tell?
- Do some servers (or data centers) have a reputation for leaning toward one of those 3 categories?
- Did you join a server because you thought it leaned toward one of those 3? If yes, was it what you expected?
Of course it may be that it's impossible to tell if a server in general leans one way or another. The data SE has in it's databases would be able to tell you how many matching words (such as 'extreme' or 'relaxed) are in the FC descriptions, and they can probably do their analytical stuff and say how many people from FCs with x players finished y raids, but the data won't really give you a feel for the community. Hence the questions out of curiosity.
