I apologize beforehand if this is misplaced

Greetings,
I am currently doing an assignment at my university.

I need to gather some information from MMORPG players and hope that you kind people would be willing to help me out.

It is fairly short and takes about 3-5 minutes to answer.

I would be very grateful for any and all responses.

Thanks again for all of the responses.

I will just say that since I'm in Denmark it's getting late, so I will not respond to any questions or anything before sometime tomorrow.

Have fun

Regards
Emil

Done, but imo you should define some of your terms with the questions. You should survey expecting the lowest expected knowglede of the survey taker, ie a causal player who only has played city of ... not other mmos.

Namely:

Quote:
Of the following which do you consider yourself?
Achiever
Killer
Explorer
Socializer
These are held to be an archtype of player. Not eveneryone would be aware that these are semi defined terms for game theory, and there is no option to be a combination.

Quote:
Dungeons:
Quests:
PvP events:
Equipment
If someone has only played City of ... then we don't have dungeons, or quests, and equipment doesnt really suit either. But the survey looks otherwise geared towards City of ... players with MA questions.

Just my 2 inf.


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

Thanks for the multitude of responses! They have been extraordinarily helpful

Indeed but they are only meant as a derivative from the original paper by R. Bartle. Their purpose is only to give a rough picture of what people see themselves as. Perhaps it should have been better worded, ie. "Which type do you think fits best/most".

The Questionnaire was targeted MMO players in general, however the terms have been selected based upon my opinion that they synonymously describe various terms in different MMOs.
A possible solution would be to explain the terms briefly and I have included this in my criticisms of the research.

Sadly, it would be very bad to change this halfway through the research as this would invalidate previous responses.

Besides, I've been a gamer long enough to understand that in COH Dungeons=Maps, Quests= Missions, Equipment= Enhancements/IO's etc.

So using broad definitions serves his purpose of evaluating players of MMO's as a whole while still singling in on this game.

Done also... hope it helps.

Maybe having the final product shown or linked here so the devs can see it too might be helpfull to all.

With that attitude, you're already way ahead of several researchers I've worked with :-)

I filled in the questionnaire. And...I'm in the top age bracket you included. ::cries::

If you ever end up doing this kind of question again, I'd recommend they be listed as such (if you do it for both classical and Superhero/whatever type MMOs)

Dungeons/Taskfoces/Group Tasks
Quests/Missions

or some such.

That or he's making the modifications you guys suggested.
