Hello!!
My name is Kelly Sopchak and I am a graduate student at the University of Houston. Yes I am doing research on playing MMORPGs, but I also was a gamer prior to grad school. Generally, since the post would be for academic research, it is not considered to be spam or advertisement. I am more than happy to provide additional information, just email or message me. Also I will respond to comments on the thread. I have posted information about the survey and the link below, any assistance would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you so much for your time!!

Would you be willing to complete a survey that takes approximately 15 minutes for a chance to win a six month subscription ($90 gift card) for an MMORPG of your choice? Kelly Sopchak, a graduate student at the University of Houston, is researching the influence of the gaming experience on one’s level of involvement with the game. Your participation is completely anonymous and will help researchers and game designers identify what aspects of playing MMORPGs you like the most! Participation in this research is restricted to American gamers 18 years of age and older. If you would like further information about this study, please contact Kelly at Email removed. Pm user. To access the survey please visit the link below.

I'm not doing it, as it looks pretty suspicious no offence if it isn't.

while I took your test, you should also understand that some people dont wish to give out certain information---you should NOT ask income!
Other questions should have had the n/a option--as some did not apply at all or the answer was not there.
also there are other cicrumstances that might play into answers (like I have been quite ill this week--so yeah, I have been a bit depressed and have not been eating).
and you didnt leave any space for comments

Thanks for the heads up on the typos!! Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well Cosyfiep, hope all is well soon. Thank you all for you help!! I know it is a little long and some of the questions are strange, but I swear I have good intentions. The income question is not going to be analyzed, it is just to verify that those who participate in the study are similar to what has been reported in the general population of gamers. I appologize if it was offensive in anyway. Thanks again to all who helped!! Please feel free to let others know about the survey!!

P.S. THANKS!!!

Always happy to help a fellow grad student. Good luck with your research!

Thank you all for your help!! I am still in need of participants; please if you have not completed a survey feel free to do so! Thanks again for the constructive comments and your participation!!!

OK, I filled it out. The typos are annoying.

kells8383 · Jul 30, 2011, 05:14 PM // 17:14

I agree.. two of them were due to my inability to edit. However, the rest are due to an upgrade that occurred on the server after the survey was launched. I cannot correct them, because there is a chance that completed surveys could be lost. Thanks for helping out, I greatly appreciate it!!

Ok I completed it.

I agree with most of what Cosy said. I would have liked to have been able to put in comments or tick n/a.

Some of your questions were strangely worded and I suspect a strict interpretation of them is different to what you intended by them.

I do hope that you will share the results of your project with us.
