The official site has some sort of data report in regards to the
server tests. A few charts and statistics, and maybe polls.

What's the jist of it, Lisa?

It's about a questionnaire they asked us to fill out. The charts show people's responses to questions about the monsters, the interface, etc.

More later if I have time.

Now that's an informative survey.

This re-inforces the fact that virtually everyone loves Henger. I
wonder why they kept skimping out on its subtypes since MR4?
Because it's seen as a monster in lieu of Joker now?

But that's way, way off topic. Another discussion for another day, as
they say!
