Research Study: Gnome Rogue with Pink Mohawk LFG |
Have you ever wondered if playing a gnome in World of Warcraft says something about a player’s personality? Is it really the case that women prefer to play healers? And how similar or different are US and EU players? We are social scientists at the Palo Alto Research Centers and we too have often wondered about these questions. And that’s what this study is about.
We’re trying to figure out how our behaviors in virtual worlds may or may not relate to who we are in the real world. The lead researchers in our team are Nick Yee and Nic Ducheneaut, both of whom have a long history of studying online games. We are also the same researchers who brought you the Daedalus Project and the PARC PlayOn Project.
To be a part of our newest research project only takes about 15 minutes to complete a web survey. We will then use an automated script to collect your characters’ data from the Armory. Last year, we collected data from the US, Hong Kong and Taiwan. This time around, we’re expanding recruitment to WoW players in the EU as well.
To participate in this study, you must be:
- An active WoW player
- Age 18 or above
- Playing on a US or EU WoW server

Breaking all of my wretched dolls
Fingernails they scratch outside
In the attic is where I'll hide

I will say that, compared to the other 1 post researchers that throw up a study or survey link here, Nick Yee is a fairly prominent and legitimate researcher in the area of Online Worlds, and I've used his information in the past as references both on the boards and in certain college courses. If I was going to support any researchers in this area, he'd be the one.

We're actually non-academic research scientists, so we don't follow a semester system, but we sure do miss those summer vacations ...

Thanks. I really appreciate the support.
As Azure mentioned, we've been studying online gamers for a long time, looking into who they are, why they play, etc. You can check out our blogs and articles linked up top. We always share our findings back with the community.
