Greetings fellow lineage 2 players! I am a anthropology major in college and I am conducting research concerning online roleplaying gamers. Below is a survey that if you have time, can fill out and email your results to me =) Thank you for participating ! --Kith / Devianne server

Statement of intent<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

This survey is being conducted to "bring to light" if online role-playing games are indeed addictive, or not addictive, in nature. By addictive I mean, "being mentally dependent upon online gaming to fulfill needs not otherwise met in the real world or not being able to say "no" to playing when it is important not to play."<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Instructions<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Please do not write your name anywhere on this form (or in your return email). If this survey is emailed to you and you feel that your return email address will give away your identity, please make a mock email address at hotmail.com. It's free and it takes about 3 minutes to complete.

<o:p> </o:p>

PLEASE keep in mind that this study will keep you COMPLETELY anonymous! It is important to my research for the answers given to be as truthful as possible. This survey is part of a research project examining the "online gaming" culture and will not be used as ammunition to condemn video games.

<o:p> </o:p>

If this has been emailed to you, you will receive it in Microsoft Word format in an attached file. If you wish to use that format and highlight or embolden the answer of your choice and return it as an attached file that would be fine. However, the easiest way would be for you to just respond in the email without an attachment with a list of your answers. For example: 1) c 2) a 3) d etc. Please make the subject of the email (where you type that in under the return email address) GAME SURVEY. Just in case you loose my email address, its jpchapman@radford.edu
