Greetings,

Two short and simple questions for which I hope there are short and simple
answers:

1.) When one is designing a guide/admin/wizard/immortal/whatever system that
relies on player volunteers (for a large-scale graphical commercial MUD),
how many applications per number of players can one expect to receive?
I.e., what percentage of the playerbase would be interested in becoming a
guide?

2.) What is the ratio of qualified applicants to total number of
applications?

I realize these questions are liable to elicit a number of answers that
begin with "It depends...", but I'm hoping for a sweeping generalization, if
there is one...

My apologies if this subject has been debated before.

Thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Geoffrey
