  • Thank you! I will be collecting data till June 21st. So, if you know other gamers that may have an opinion about games & learning, please forward the link to the survey to them.
  • Thank you! It is useful to hear many perspectives and ideas  
  • I am a girl gamer too.. I love playing games, I design  games casually and do game research (including in customization).  We all know that not all girls enjoy playing games the same way. We play different games. We play games for different reason…
  •  Hi all, Ok, I think this is my last post on asking for participation (I actually don't feel comfortable to ask people's time without paying back in some way but funding for game research in the area of education is still very little, and hopefull…
  • Hi all, Thank you for your help so far. If you know anybody who play Lotro, DDO or CoX, it would be great if you send them link to this thread. I am skill short in these three games to run analysis. Or, if you have played any of these games and …
  • Originally posted by Daffid011 This site if filled with far to many burned out mmo players that have an axe to grind and I fear what they will do to your survey.   We are interested in all people's reasoned opinions whether they are satisfie…
  •     Hi all, The survey is still open. As this is part of a pilot study, I will start analyzing the data as soon as I have enough responses. Unfortunately, there is only a few responses so far. I really appreciate your help. Thank you so much!
  • Originally posted by Horusra I would contest that there is no customization in any MMO.  Math statistics render all games to certain builds, itemization, skill sets, etc for a character to be optimal.  Thus these are what is aimed for by all that…
  • Originally posted by johnmatthais  I would actually suggest getting a footing in an "easier" MMO such as WoW, the PvE side of GW, or something of the likes before barging into something complex such as a sandbox like EvE or Fallen Earth. If you'r…
  • Originally posted by Parmele We've all see a 1,000 of these - and until today I never filled one out. I'm a Master's student myself working on my thesis. Every participant counts. Good luck.   Thank you Parmele.  I just find survey studies c…
  • Originally posted by SequenceLost Originally posted by Malcolmsprye Originally posted by SequenceLost This all legitmately depends on what age group your talking about teaching this class to, and what the class is regarding. I think with a li…
  • Originally posted by Sovrath Ok, done.   Thank you!
  • Originally posted by Lansid Ultima Online, show them the mainstream roots... Everquest, to show them the granddaddy of 3d mmorpg... WoW to show them the most popular CoX to show them how fun it is to just make characters... EvE... then show them …
  • Originally posted by Mardy You need to at least try WoW to see what the fuss is all about.  While I can understanding trying DDO because it's free, or LOTR Online because it's a fairly good game, you are narrowing your experience by choosing thos…
  • Originally posted by UknownAspect It really depends on what you are even trying to teach.  Games like EVE or Darkfall are cutthroat and ruthless sandbox games that will really spark conflict and discussion.  Sandbox games will also teach players …
  • Originally posted by SequenceLost This all legitmately depends on what age group your talking about teaching this class to, and what the class is regarding. I think with a little more info as to what your teaching and what age group your teaching…
  • Originally posted by Coonhound  If LOTRO and DOD had a baby,it would be named, "Lord Of The Doodoo".   Rings of Dungeons? Lord of the Dragons? Rings of Dragons? Ok.. I am being too silly
  • Originally posted by pauldriver Make the boring student play EVE. Then make the make the mentally unbalanced one shoot the first one. The projects you get back will be a joy to read. lol.. I just don't think i would be allowed to teach the cou…
  • Originally posted by HorrorScope Yes it's unique and good. If ever LOTRO and DDO had a baby, if that baby had the best traits of both it would easily be the best fantasy mmo ever made. DDO needs more adventure and a more modern UI to make it righ…
  • Originally posted by raystantz  I tried EVE.. but I'm just not a space fan. That and the fact that it takes a Excel spreadsheet wizard to understand what the heck all of it means. I'll stick to games where I can see my character and stand on soli…
