    22 - 30

     2-4 time a week

    4) How long did you play each session for?

    3-5 hours

    Sometimes  7+ hours

    5) Why do you play MMORPG games?

    It offers a world to explore with people to interact with. A level of immersion you can't experience in most games.

    6) Does the MMORPG culture have an influence on the reason of why youplay?

    I've played since EverQuest 1 in 1999, so the initial MMO buzz back in the day was more than enough to get me hooked.

    7) Do/Did you consider yourself an addicted player?

    If the game is interesting and worth my time, it is highly addicting so, yes I would consider this a yes.

     

    8) In your opinion, how do you know when you’re addicted?

    When I play too much, but it's usually worth the time spent.

     

    9) Does playing MMORPG games affect your lifestyle? If so, how?

    I'm an introvert by nature, so if I wasn't playing an online game or plain ol' game of sort, I'd be reading or watching movies.

     

    10) Does public perception of MMORPG gamers have an impact on you? If so, how?

    Doesn't bother me the slightest. They have their hobbies and I have mine, they're missing out.

     

    11) In your experience/opinion, has MMORPG addiction become a positive or negative impact?

    Positive, I wouldn't trade my experiences I've had over the years for much of anything.

     1) What is your Gender? 

    Male

    2) Which age group do you belong to?

    22-30

    3) How often do/did you play MMORPG games?

    ? Everyday

    4) How long did you play each session for?

    ? 1½-3 hours

    5) Why do you play MMORPG games?

    The persistant and social aspects. I've been in various games ever since pre-split UO. I'm also one of the few MMO players left that enjoys and plays for the lore, so being a part of an unfolding story would fit in here I guess.

    6) Does the MMORPG culture have an influence on the reason of why youplay?

    Not quite sure what this question is getting at. What is "MMORPG culture"? 

    7) Do/Did you consider yourself an addicted player?

    No

    8) In your opinion, how do you know when you’re addicted?

    When real life obligations and social interaction is detrementally effected due to your obsession. I'm not sure why this needs to be defined, as "addiction" has a definition. It either fits or it doesn't *shrug*.

    9) Does playing MMORPG games affect your lifestyle? If so, how?

    Not particularly. 

    10) Does public perception of MMORPG gamers have an impact on you? If so, how?

    Of course. If the public thinks MMORPGs are for "shut in, no life addicts" then what do you think most people are going to think of you when you say "Oh yeah and I play *this game* every once and a while". Among several other factors. If you're asking if public perception has an impact on how/what I play, no, screw the public.

    11) In your experience/opinion, has MMORPG addiction become a positive or negative impact?

    This question assumes a Yes to #7 so I would assume I shouldn't answer?

     

    No offense, but many of these questions seem poorly worded.

     

    Bans a perma, but so are sigs in necro posts.

    Male

    22-30 (Just)
    3) How often do/did you play MMORPG games?
    2-4 time a week
    4) How long did you play each session for?
    1½-3 hours



    5) Why do you play MMORPG games?
    I like computer games; an MMO is a game that doesn't "end", what's not to like?
    6) Does the MMORPG culture have an influence on the reason of why youplay?
    No, not really.
    7) Do/Did you consider yourself an addicted player?
    No, I don't consider MMOs (or any computer game) to be addictive.
    8) In your opinion, how do you know when you’re addicted?
    As #7, gaming is no different than reading or watching TV.
    9) Does playing MMORPG games affect your lifestyle? If so, how?
    I watch a bit less crappy TV than I used to.
    10) Does public perception of MMORPG gamers have an impact on you? If so, how?
    Nope, I've met one or two people who were surprised when I told them I was an MMO gamer .. apparently I'm not the type (according to their preconceptions), but I can't that it's ever had an impact per se.
    11) In your experience/opinion, has MMORPG addiction become a positive or negative impact?
    Neither; I don't believe that it exists. Rather, I consider it to be an invention of the media/scaremongers and a handy panacea for poor parenting and lack of self-control.
