As of yesterday the last of the 6 accounts I often play received the Survey. I responded "Yes" then clicked "Submit" now none of those accounts get the SSSE. The reason I'm posting this is because of when it happened. I was in game with one of my accounts talking in guildchat and heard about someone losing a character to a random disconnection from PEQ, this seems semi-common the last couple days. As they logged their character back in it received the Survey. Also another person who had been fighting through the SSSEs for 20 minutes or so announced that they also just received the Survey. Quickly I fired up another EQ client and logged in my 'uncured' account. Sure enough I got the Survey. I found none of us had used the Quick Connect.
This was the only time I've heard of more than one player getting the Survey at roughly the same time. It could be it was just random luck but it's worth chasing on a small scale. Here are my untested recommendations.
1. If you receive the Survey quickly notify others in your guild so they may try to do the same thing I did. I'm guessing you've got one or two minutes max to catch the wave. If you find similar results post back here and we'll start announcing in /ooc and IRC.
2. Don't use Quick Connect when attempting to catch the Survey.

Xulok, as far as I can tell It's all between the player and the EQEmu login server.
