    What we asked:

    Q: When do you think Neverwinter Nights will be released?
    (359 votes total)

    I don't have a clue (80) 22%
    After April 2002 (79) 22%
    December 2001 (55) 15%
    March 2002 (55) 15%
    February 2002 (31) 9%
    April 2002 (25) 7%
    January 2002 (24) 7%
    November 2001 (10) 3%

    Now this sure turned out to be a pretty interesting guessing game. The majority of people who voted (22% of them) in the poll exclaimed that they don't have a clue when the game will be released. With all the confusing and inaccurate dates floating around the web this really comes as no surprise.

    Only one person less than in the previous batch (still 22%) thinks that Neverwinter Nights is going to be released after April 2001. I myself wouldn't be surprised if it were, but still, I expect it to be out sooner than that.

    15% of people who voted think it is going to be out by December 2001 (which is a bit unlikely), and exactly the same number of people (another 15%) think it is going to be released in March 2002.

    There are 9% of people who think the game will be released in February 2002, which is in my opinion the most likely release date of all.

    Even fewer people think that Neverwinter Nights will be released in April 2002, 7% of them to be exact.

    However, another 7% of people think that it will be released in January 2002.

    Only 3% of people think that it is going to be released in November 2001, which is the only date that has been officially confirmed as "not going to happen".

    All in all, there seem to be 6 major groups of people, each firmly convinced that they know the exact release date, but in fact, they are all only guessing. I don't believe that in 150 or so polls that we've run on SP thus far we've had such a grouped outcome where results would come in 3 batches of the same amount of votes (2x 22%, 2x 15%, 2x 7%). Of course with so many polls probability kicks in, but this is one field of mathematics I really never got the hang of. ;)

    Anyway, to conclude let me just say that the official release date is still "this winter", while winter stretches almost to the end of March next year...
