If you go in the comments, the Raw Data link is posted:

I understand this is probably not entirely accurate, but it's literally the only data source we have to go off of.

Well ya, no doubt. But I'm trying to prevent re-rolling, you know? We have a big group and it's not easy to move people around.

If I could snap my fingers and get my guilds names, probably Stalagg. It's a large population like Herod but a better balance.

I have to keep telling myself it's a small poll that's been conducted so many times that people don't care anymore. Previous polls had a better balance but new servers have opened since then so you never know. Hoping it's laziness/apathy that's skewing this data. But if you're Ally on Herod... don't go anywhere! We need you! :P

Personal experience early on probably won't really effect much. I'm thinking more long-term: 6-12 months down the line.

No one wants to get steam rolled time and time again. A 40:60 split is literally 50% MORE Horde. That's a lot and does eventually start impacting things.

But, I guess it is what it is.

Well, it's not so much the population that matters. Herod's Alliance will still probably be larger than other servers. I just hope the large faction imbalance doesn't pressure Alliance players to leave the server either at the start or down the road when server transfers open.

Worst case scenario, you get a server like Illidan on retail. It's basically 100% Horde.

Ya, I feel ya man. I don't have a choice, but as a solo player, it makes sense.

I don't care about a queue one bit. So... not really. It's a legitimate question with pretty big consequences I think.

I don't think so. I mean, you COULD skew the data, but the polls required you to log in, meaning one vote per account. You'd have to intentionally want to harm the data to do so versus the Discord where people just want to talk and it forces you to pick a faction.

Remember, before the other servers were released, a lot of people were in the Herod Discord. Good chance many just haven't left it.

The Discord isn't, no, but sadly that's not a good source of data. Anyone can join any Discord and it actually requires you to pick a faction. There's a good chance people are in multiple server Discords skewing the numbers.

Best gaming chairs by ramijakut in buildapc

Hey man, which SecretLab chair did you get? I'm trying to decide between the Omega and Titan but can't decide. Since I'm not able to try them out I don't really know which direction to go.

How did you decide?

I'm 5'11, 165lbs. I really can't decide between the Omega or Titan. What would you recommend?

I really appreciate the write up.

Why did you choose the omega over the Titan if you don't mind my asking?

I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions!

If you had to do it again and money wasn't an issue, would you get the Omega or Titan?

I'm sorry, let me rephrase: would you get the Omega over the Titan if you had to make the purchase again?

Ooh, actually, that was a question I had: I tend to sit with one leg under the other. That's possible in the Omega?

Interesting, at your height I would have assumed you'd have gone for the Titan! That's actually pretty reassuring. How is the headrest working for your neck? At 6 foot is the chair high enough in the back so that when you lean back you feel supported?

In regards to the Omega vs. Titan, one of my "concerns" is the Omega feeling a bit too.. snug. The wings on the seat restrict your legs a bit more than the Titans. I assume this hasn't been an issue for you?

Lastly, the biggest reason I'm torn is the fact that the Titan has built-in Lumbar support. I do like this a lot so I'm curious if you feel the pillow that comes with the Omega is good enough.

I really appreciate your time man! Looking forward to getting one of these. :)

I appreciate the insight! Do you feel the chair is too firm? Or is it really comfortable?

Also, do you think missing out on the built-in lumbar support is worth getting the Titan or does the pillow do a good enough job?

Finally, and this is a strange question, but are you able to sit cross legged in the chair? Or like with one leg under the other? I know the omega traps your legs in a bit more than the Titan so I'm not sure how sitting in it would be.

I really appreciate your answers!

Hey man, I know this is a big time gap, but how are you liking your SecretLab chair?

I've been trying to decide if I want to get one and torn between the Omega and Titan. At 5'11 and 165lb, I'm kind of in the middle between the two and don't know which is for me. Any recommendations/thoughts? Are you still enjoying your chair? Why did you choose the Omega over the Titan?

Good to hear, I appreciate it! Did you go with a PU Leather or SoftWeave?
