Hi everyone,
My name is Meaghan, and I'm a student doing research at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. I've been taking a course called "Ethnography of Massively Multiplayer Online Games" this semester, and actively playing and participating in a guild within Vanguard.
For my final research, I've chosen to study social interaction between strangers in MMORPGs.
I'm looking for anyone who might be interested in discussing game design and its effect on social interaction in-game. I've designed a short survey (literally ten questions,) and I would also love to talk to participants a bit more in-depth through e-mail (mgolden@trinity.edu). My study will examine MMORPGs in general, not just Vanguard.
Please see the consent form on my personal class blog beforehand:
By completing the survey, you will be stating that you have read the consent materials and agree to participate.
You can find the link to the main website for our class here, if you would just like to check out what we're about. If you'd rather not participate, no worries!
Here's the link, if you're interested, and thank you for helping me out:
