A survey on online gaming

[Oldyounggamer]

Hello. My name is Grady. I am a gamer and communications major at Trinity University in San Antonio. I am taking a course on virtual worlds (http://www.trinity.edu/adelwich/worlds/index.html), and am fascinated by generational issues in Everquest II, World of Warcraft, and other online role-playing games.

I would love to speak with gamers of all ages about their thoughts on these issues. All interview participants must be at least 18 years old, or they must have parental consent.

Those who wish to participate in the study should feel free to contact me at oldyounggamer@yahoo.com. From there, we can discuss how to arrange the interviews.

I am aware that researchers of online games have a bad habit of gathering information, then leaving without any sort of feedback to their subjects concerning the nature of the study and its results. Rest assured that this study will not be conducted in that manner. I, along with the rest of the class, fully intend to post our research findings and papers online when they are complete, and I personally will contact each of my subjects on completion of my project as best as I am able. If you wish to learn where/when the project is expected to be posted, or have any questions about the class or other projects related to it, feel free to check here for more information:

If you would like to participate in my study or have any further questions, the e-mail being used for the study is oldyounggamer@yahoo.com. You may also participate by taking a survey at this link:

Thank you all for your time, and I look forward to hearing from each of you.

Hello Grady,

Although it appears your not a TOG member. I'd suggest you contact "Father" to give your request more visibility. He could even make it into a news item on our homepage at his discretion, and/or a sticky news item on the forum.

You may also enjoy to look over research material from Nick Yee's website of the Daedalus Project.

Best of luck on your research paper.
