    Hello all!:)

    Me and a friend from Stockholms university are conducting our bachelor thesis and we need your help to complete it.
    We are trying to reveal what factors matter when it comes to deciding on whether or not to play an MMORPG.
    In this thesis we are using two different methods to get results. In the first part that is allready conducted
    we interviewed around 100 people on their thoughts behind their MMORPG playing. The results from thous interviews helped us make this survey.
    There are a lot of questions but the questions shouldent take too long to answer. We hope that you can offer us a few minutes of your time to answer our questions about MMORPGs.
    This thesis will later be published online at Stockholm university.
    No personal information will be published.




    Thanks for your time!

    ps. I know this type of first post might not be appreciated, but i hope you understand why we are posting here:)

    I mostly play on Facebook. When I do play a MMORPG it is usually a browser game that is easy on my system. I also look for a good community since I do not like to solo every quest.

    started as a past time for me!!!...not until i knew a lot of friends in-game,.and for a sudden it's no longer about how i enjoy a particular game, it's all about the company with other gamers/friends that i am with in-game that keep me playing..

    I love creating a character and making them grow through experiences in game. I also have a little min-maxer in me so creating the best character is also fun.

    PvP is growing on me because it is more challenging than PvE.

    Well I am quite social in games and I've always loved RPG so putting the two together is something I'd love. I'm pretty competitive and I can put my skill against others while continuously getting stronger and working on my character.

    If I want to enjoy a game or have some new experience, I'll play an offline game. But sometimes there's no interesting offline games, I'll play MMORPGs. Just for killing time.
