I know this likely varies, but how many unique players (not characters) visited BGTSCC server in the month of December?
I put a survey together for a topic the Suggestion section of the forum, and I need an estimate on the amount of traffic we get in order to calculate the margin of error.

Re: How many unique players play on BGTSCC in a month?
I'm afraid it's not something we really track. If I had to guess we have about 200 unique players these days -- some of them regular, every day players, and some of them far more casual players. I'm also including "visitor" players, who still keep the community in their hearts and pop in from time to time, but don't play a character consistently these days.
In our heyday we had about three times that number, and at our low points fewer than half that number.
We have had 448 individual usernames log into the server since December 1, 2015 -- but a lot of our players use a variety of alt accounts and characters, and the same player is sometimes behind two or three different names.
We also have a lot of people who make an account and never play it again, or who visit the server for a few days, find that NWN2 is just not for them, and then depart. Since January 1, 2015, we have had 8,335 different accounts created, played, or modified. This does not count the multiple characters on those accounts -- this only counts the players making new accounts or playing on existing ones.
We usually see population spikes when the game goes up for sale on GOG or another outlet, but we count ourselves lucky if even 5-10 of those players actually stick it out long-term.

This is a very detailed, and informative response! Thank you so much for getting me these figures. I should be able to get a rough estimate on the margin of error of the survey from this reply.
