Ambitious World of Warcraft Research Study Unveiled

Serious World of Warcraft "Psychology of MMORPGs" Research Study getting underway

Just got word of a research study going on over at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). Now they don't spend money studying just anything, they do all sorts of advanced research there.

The Daedalus project, or so it is coined on their site, is the "psychology of MMORPGs".

Here's a quote from their page:

"Gnome Rogue with Pink Mohawk LFG

Have you ever wondered about who it is behind that gnome rogue with the pink mohawk? Or whether it’s possible to figure out if a player is a man or a woman just from the way they play the game? We’re social scientists from the US, Taiwan, and Hong Kong and we’ve wondered about that too. And that’s what this study is about."

If you currently play World of Warcraft on a North American or Oceanic Server, and are interested in possibly taking part in this study, you can follow the link to the project here.

Good luck everyone, sounds interesting, and when you're finished, I'm a 5k+ GS Pally Tank healer LFG!!!
