MMPORG Econ ResearchFollow

Hello,

My name is Sam, and I am an undergraduate enrolled in a course on virtual worlds at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. Our class has been playing Everquest II for the past four months, with characters ranging in level from 10 to 27. Our primary characters are members of the guild The Vindicators on the Antonia Bayle server.

As part of an ongoing research project, I would like to speak with people over the age of 18 about their thoughts on tradeskills and the effect of spending real life currency for in-game items/currency in MMORPGs.

These interviews could take place via e-mail, in-game, or over an anonymous instant messaging connection. I will preserve the anonymity and confidentiality of all participants.

If you are willing to be interviewed about your thoughts on this topic, please contact me at:

mmporgecon@hotmail.com

I understand that the gaming community is bombarded with survey requests that never lead anywhere. This request is different. Our class is committed to sharing its research findings. At the end of the semester, all student papers and presentations will be linked to the course web site and made available to anyone with an Internet connection.

For more details about our course and the research project, visit:

Thanks in advance for your time.

Sam

No it does not matter because I am looking at MMPORGs in general, not just EQ2. I got the idea for my topic while playing WoW (I have a 60 priest and 60lock) and watching the price swings in AH.

The e-mail is

Bumping this in the hopes that more people take the survey, help this guy out.
