shadowfyr will become famous soon enough
Just a comment, but unless the rankings where weighted based on the 'real' size of the player base like 'This site has recieved 50 votes from its 500 players' the list will never be accurate. If no muds gave incentives then basic human nature would be for maybe 10% of the players to actively play and 20% of them actually voting at all. The result is the biggest player bases at the top of the list, which makes the whole process sort of pointless, since you could just post the actually number of total players that are over some level and get the same result.

As for the one I play at.. We are under new admin and the results of attempting to get us to vote has been less than impressive. lol Most on AoD are frankly more interested in the next new areas being added, the new changes to the battle arena and the occational invading army that we have to fight off. And frankly.. even if they did give us something like a 200% exp rate for a day, the result would be more like 120% due to all the extra people wandering around trying to kill stuff instead of doing other things. I am sure bribery works in some places, but prior to the server rearrangement that temporarily lost all the links to vote sites (and still isn't completely fixed), we where roughly the same place as now without any promised incentives. However, what I think that means relative to our actual active player base is as good a guess as yours...
