    What we asked:

    Q: How are you going to play Neverwinter Nights?
    (283 votes total)

    Single player (offline) mostly (140) 49%
    Multiplayer (online) mostly (81) 29%
    Multiplayer (offline, LAN) mostly (40) 14%
    Multiplayer (online) only (14) 5%
    I won't play it (8) 3%

    Now this poll has certainly shattered some of the ideas many people I know have been having...
    It seems that NWN will still be played mostly offline by far.

    Almost 50% of people who voted in the poll have stated that they will mainly play Neverwinter Nights offline, in single player mode.
    Hmm, it seems that we'll have to redefine that thinking that continuously places NWN among online-only and MMORP games. Maybe the developers should think about the offline part of the game a bit harder. And possibly reveal some info about the story, since we still know next to nothing about it.

    Almost 30% of people have voted for Multiplayer (that is, online) as their prime choice. Not that small a number, but certainly a lot smaller than we'd have expected.

    Another entry that can be more or less combined with the first one is Multiplayer (LAN) mostly. About 15% of people prefer this way of playing, without any lag or server delays.

    Last (and almost least) is Multiplayer only. Only 5% of people have said that they will play NWN exclusively online.
    Heh, there goes the persistent worlds idea. I just hope that there aren't more DMs and enthusiasts with their servers than people willing to actually play on them.

    Although this poll got a scarce amount of votes (poll server problems), the situation after the first 150 votes hasn't changed substantially so I think that these results are valid nonetheless. Who knows, maybe it's still too early to make such predictions when NWN is still more than half a year away.
    Nevertheless, the results are something to think about.

    You can check all previous ones here and vote in this week's over there.
