Just in time for the holidays, WOTC has a new online survey for D&D Players which can be found here.
If any scribe wins a prize after following the link I posted, I only have one word for such a person...commission. |

I tried on several occasions to see if I could get the survey. However - I'm not sure exactly which page we are talking about. ALso - my monitor is on the dsmall side - so where on the screen should I be looking for the survey info?
Thanks!

If they allow you to share that link, PM me with it, if you don't mind. 
Its a link specifically for me, unfortunately.
But this is the Page for the D&D Advisory Panel http://www.dndadvisorypanel.com/default.asp so might be able to sign up via this link |

completed the survey yesterday, and joined said advisory panel
it is unfortunate that they are not paying as much attention to international fans, but not unforseen. People with marketing degrees like big markets that perform with consistency. I don't see why it would be a problem to have a foriegn language advisory panel though... one would think that you could expand your markets, or perhaps print foriegn only titles that specifically target the needs of non-american fans. |

Strange, they only asked for my age, and how often I played D&D and since when. Finally there was a box for suggestions. Being from Germany, I ask myself if there are more questions for american Gamers than for the international ones? |

I want to take the survey, but my many reloads of the main page haven't gotten me the link. |

The old one isn't up any more. To get the new one, reload the main page over and over again and hope and pray. |

Okay, they're doing these again, on randomly selected loadings of the main D&D page.
I got one.
Now, is "Rehire Steven Schend and commission George Krashos to do an Impiltur sourcebook" a good thing to stuff in the comments box? |

Ah! that could explain it: I clicked "Country: Canada"
Nice to know WotC is targeting people by geography and has given up on online distribution... But in all seriousness, it is rather disappointing to know that the next wave of products will be targeted for the American gamer by the American gamer... 
In their defense, the US prolly is their biggest market... But still, they should be at least a bit more concerned with what the rest of their customers want. |

Curiouser and curiouser, I only got the one question as well. But it was a plea for more Realmsian goodness so that's one more voice added. |

If I would have answered that I was a marketer, perhaps I would have seen other questions. Therefore, I should have had: this way perhaps I would have uncovered the true purpose of this survey...
Then again, maybe it was a mere suggestion box survey, with no pre-made questions...
Strange, I gave the same information you did and got a number of additional questions. |

Oh, too late Sirius. Already finished. No commission for you, although I'll tell you about any nifty information I gleen if I win the stash.
 I see making Senior Scribe has made someone even more lippy.

Try giving them one additional "more FR" chant for this survey. I know I added some FR comments at the end when asked to provide comments. |

Tell you what, George... Go ahead and do the survey, and then, if you win, pass all the swag to me! How's that for incentive? |
