Please let me interview you - v.2
Edit: Because of spam/privacy concerns, this time, I am not asking for email or any other personal info. I didn't realize that would turn out to be an issue in this forum. Anyways...
-------------------------------------------------------------------- One of my assignments for my Computer Game Studies class requires that I play an MMORPG and interview players in the game. Since I'm using a trial version, I can't use in-game chat. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's where you come in. If you play (or used to play Guild Wars regularly), please (for the love of God) let me interview you. There's only a few simple questions for you to answer: -------------------------------------------------------------------- How much do you play? -------------------------------------------------------------------- What motivates you to play? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you think that you play too much? -------------------------------------------------------------------- What attracted you to this game? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you know other players? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you made new friends in game, or do you play mostly with people you already know? -------------------------------------------------------------------- What do you do with your time in the game? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Go ahead and post your answers in the comments below. Thanks in advance! |

How much do you play?
On no school days 12-16 hours, on school days, 0-5 hours depending on homework -------------------------------------------------------------------- What motivates you to play? Lots of nice people on guild wars, no immature kids like RuneScape and it's fun because there's not much grinding. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you think that you play too much? I guess, but it's kind of an anti drug. -------------------------------------------------------------------- What attracted you to this game? I saw my cousins play and there wasnt much grinding -------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you know other players? In real life? yeah, my cousin. In game? of course. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you made new friends in game, or do you play mostly with people you already know? In real life? no. In game? I make new friends as long as they are mature and I also play with people I know -------------------------------------------------------------------- What do you do with your time in the game? Farm good items, help people, complete quests and raise my titles. -------------------------------------------------------------------- |

How much do you play? 0-2 hours a day. Used to be anywhere from 2-5. -------------------------------------------------------------------- What motivates you to play? Meeting great people, advancing my character further, building new builds, and sometimes just chatting with friends. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you think that you play too much? Not really. I still get all my homework done and this makes me happy, so... -------------------------------------------------------------------- What attracted you to this game? No monthly fees!!! Not to mention the skill>money/time, nice graphics, lots of content, etc. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you know other players? Yes. I have about 3 or 4 real life friends who play. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you made new friends in game, or do you play mostly with people you already know? Oh man, I have made sooo many great friends in this game and it keeps me playing. You'd be surprised how many cool people you can meet online. -------------------------------------------------------------------- What do you do with your time in the game? Since I've been playing for 4 years, I mainly help out the newer players, do some PvP, or socialize with friends. Occasionally I will do a dungeon with my guild. -------------------------------------------------------------------- |

How much do you play?
It used to be 3-4 hours a day back in the first two years of it's release. Now it's maybe 1-2 a week. -------------------------------------------------------------------- What motivated you to play? The sense of accomplishment I got from playing, the satisfaction of achieving goals and playing with my guild. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you think that you play too much? I didn't think I did when I was pulling 3 hour game sessions a day, but now I realize that I might have played just a weee bit too much. -------------------------------------------------------------------- What attracted you to this game? The fact that I was actually able to run it on my computer. Once I got in I was completely immersed in the game. You also can't beat free online play right? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you know other players? In real life? Not many, but I know quite a few players in game. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you made new friends in game, or do you play mostly with people you already know? I made new friends in game after a while, so I played with them after my real life friends moved on. -------------------------------------------------------------------- What do you do with your time in the game? Progress in the PvE campaign as well as a bit of PvP on the side just to mix things up a bit. --------------------------------------------------------------------

How much do you play? Maybe a half hour a week. I might play more if a friend is on. I used to play a 2-6 hours a day. -------------------------------------------------------------------- What motivates you to play? As long as some friends still play, I'll come on every now and then. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you think that you play too much? No, but I used to. -------------------------------------------------------------------- What attracted you to this game? A friend in high school had it, and it was free to play. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you know other players? Yes, though most have become inactive. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you made new friends in game, or do you play mostly with people you already know? If I play its with friends (made in game, and a few from outside it). I get too bored playing GW alone. -------------------------------------------------------------------- What do you do with your time in the game? I see if anyone's online and wants to do something. I might start some discussion about religion or politics in alliance chat for fun. -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
