I meant total subscribers to everquest, not posters on some message board.
As shown by Atonal's posting of 74 bards at peak time on Xegony, this is
far less than 5% of the people playing.

This game has a little bit of something for everyone, and therefore should be
balanced as such. What's the percentage of people who go into Veeshans
Peak or Sleepers Tomb? Does that mean that those zones are insignificant?
Not for the people who do go into them.

My argument still stands. It is pretty narrow minded to say that ''those people
are a small minority and thus don't matter''. It is pretty easy to say when you aren't
on of ''those people''. Like I said before, bards are less than 5% of the total peak
populations on servers, yet, because you are one of them, they aren't one of ''very,
very, very, tiny minority'', that you find it easy to call other folks?

note: I decided to take your advice and go to eqvault and see how many players were
playing pvp vs regular. Even counting test and chat as part of the total, the number
of players on pvp were 6.92152% of the total number of players on line currently. Slightly
more than your 5% number. Almost double the percentage of bards playing on peak
on xegony. So now who is the very very very tiny minority???
