Hi all,
This is an invitation to take part in Psychological research into MMOs. It’s a questionnaire looking at identity in MMOs and how people express themselves in such environments. There’s 79 questions in total which shouldn’t take too long to complete – plus if you wish you’ll be entered into a prize draw in which you can win a year’s worth of game time (up to a set value)! In addition, there’s four smaller prizes of 3 months of game time. Alternatively you can win an equal amount in vouchers from Amazon (or an online shop of your choice.)
To take part in the research, please follow the link below:
Please feel free to forward the link on to any gamers who you think might want to take part in the research. If you have any questions that you’d like answered before taking in the research, please feel free to send me a private message and I’ll answer any questions that you might have.
To tell you about myself a bit, I’m a gamer of many years standing (30 years and counting) and have played many different MMOs in my time. Apart from the fact they’re great fun, I think they represent an evolution of sorts in terms of how people interact, representative as they are of virtual environments in general. That’s a pretty short description of my thoughts and opinions about MMOs in general, but if people want to engage in discussion of that nature I’m quite willing to take part.
Thanks,

Very cool survey. It felt like a ADD test with all the repeats, but I assume it serves a purpose
I took the survey, enjoyed it actually.
I would recommend this to other gamers here as it just has that feel. you know that feel?
Heh, thanks for the positive feedback - I think it's an interesting topic. There is a bit of repetition, but it is necessary I'm afraid. All professional questionnaires (but probably not your market survey ones you get asked in the street) will have that, it's a way of establishing reliability in the answers.

Bump for people!
Done. Have to admit that I increasingly find this sort of research (Daedalus Project etc) more interesting than MMOs themselves.
