World of Warcraft and Democracy research


After the raiders' personality research last year we'd like to talk about Zeotrix's research about World of Warcraft and Democracy. We feel it's important to introduce the community to researchers and get their results posted back for everyone to see. If you have time, please support our fellow researchers so we all can benefit from their data. This message is from Zeotrix:

 

Hi, my name is Sebastian, but for you who have seen me here att Paragon.fi I go under that nickname Zeotrix. During the winter of 2010 and spring of 2011 I will conduct one the largest survey project's ever in political science, aimed strictly at exploring World of Warcraft-players view on Democracy and Society.

For the first time the players of World of Warcraft will be analyzed, not for the purpose of seeing if their violent behavior differ from that of other people or if they neglect their real life to much, but instead the focus will be on how these players actually experience democracy in both the real world and in the game. 

Does this sound like something you want to be a part of? Then do not hesitate to join the panel now by answering the survey.

In the end of the survey you will also be able to choose if you want your guild to be recognized on this page as a thank you for answering the questions!

It is important for the project to get as many answers as possible so Your answers are vital and can’t be replaced by someone else’s!

/Regards Sebastian "Zeotrix" Lundmark

PS. One special focus of the research is to get both the views of veteran players as well as new players. So if you have any friends that you know started playing a few months ago, please feel free to pursuade them into answering my survey! DS.

This research looks really interesting. It may also give you some information from an elusive demographic for many political studies: those who have recently reached the eligible age to vote.

Yeah it will be some pretty unique data that have been collected here! I hope the analysis will be as fun as I think it will be! Over 1000 respondents as of now!

Hi again! For you guys who have tried but failed to answer today it was due to a misunderstanding of the web-survey program and is now fixed and you can now answer the survey again!

/Best Regards Sebastian Lundmark

PS. Sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused you! DS.
