Hi,

I am a university student from Belgium currently in my final year of Communication Sciences at the Catholic University of Louvain. I have also been an avid gamer for most of my life. When the time came to pick a subject for my Master thesis the choice was clear: Something with games. I then chose MMORPGs because i find them incredibly fascinating and dangerously appealing. The point of my thesis is to find out exactly why people play these kind of games.

Below you will find a link to a short survey, which will only take about 5 minutes to complete. You would really help me out if you would take a moment and fill it out. I would like to stress that anonimity is guaranteed and that the data will be treated objectively. No mainstream media dramatisation here, this is serious research which I will have to defend to a comission of professors. Anyway, I hope to receive your answers soon! Thanks in advance!

PS: If you have any questions please feel free to email me at jelle.vuylsteke@student.kuleuven.be, post them in this topic or whisper to Ichi Stringfinger in Guildwars ;-)

what's with these students and their surveys all of a sudden? how many have we had now, 5?

i can recall 2

as a note this survey is really short and easy, unlike the last one i remember which was like 200 questions. this is more like 15.

i hope it helps

eh what the heck, so long as this is for a good cause and all.

Thanks for the fillouts guys. I didn't realize it was such a hot topic. I hope another one of these surveys isn't much bother. I tried to make it as short as possible. However i still need some 300 more people to fill out the survey so if thereis anyway you guys could help me get there by spreading the word or something, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

That is a lot of people, you try other MMORPG sites in addition to this one.

Go to myspace and join some of their MMORPG groups and post the survey within their forums. That'll probably get you your 300 people.

Another addition to your list. Hope it gets you a little bit closer.
