Conani Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hi, Firstly I've been browsing through the forum and didnt see anything wrong with posting this, if there is then remove it moderators! I'm currently gathering data for my thesis. Im using an online survey to explore MMORPGs. If anyone has any free time could you please fill it in? It's confidential and its exploring MMORPG playing behavior and motivations. I want as many participants as possible. So your participation would be greatly appreciated. The link below provides you with more details about my project; http://ess.ntu.ac.uk/surveys/zhussain.htm Here is the link to the survey; http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=y ... iqmQ_3d_3d Sorry for the shameless plug, Thank you for your time.

jackal_55 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 sorry buut... brand new user, unfamiliar link, MMORPG. first rule of MMO's, keyloggers are very common, and nobody with a brain will click an unfamiliar link from an unfamiliar source. nudist hippy vegan elves who inexplicably wear leather.

Kevin_ Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 sorry buut... brand new user, unfamiliar link, MMORPG. first rule of MMO's, keyloggers are very common, and nobody with a brain will click an unfamiliar link from an unfamiliar source. That's acutally the second rule, the first rule is anybody with a higher level then you is a no lifer, anyone lower is a noob. But ye don't click it. Some people dream of success, while others make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 The links are just what they appear to be. I checked them by hovering my mouse over them and then clicked on them using a Ubuntu virtual machine. They're safe. I suppose there are some advantages to having a ridiculously high postcount.

mervinator_9 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I say [bleep] the rules, so ye went ahead and clicked it... Its not a keylogger as far as i can tell, it links to a nottingham uni page. Anyway its just a survey thats asks for basic stuff like password and recovery questions and stuff so im not worried. joke Theres a fine line between not listening and not caring,I like to think I walk this line every day. Pinning blame on Jagex is like trying to put pants on an old man. You both know he needs them, but he'll just keep dancing around, avoiding them at all costs.

dusqi Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Its not a keylogger as far as i can tell, it links to a nottingham uni page. Nottingham TRENT uni :P I go to Nottingham Uni (two universities in one city), and there is some rivalry! :P But yea, the link is to a university website, which has all the stuff you'd expect from a research study, so it looks legitimate to me, and I encourage people to contribute to the research :) For it is the greyness of dusk that reigns.The time when the living and the dead exist as one.

redhaloguy Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Eh I just did the survey as if I was still playing. You wouldn't really find many people still playing in OT. If you do things right people won't be sure you've done anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l0rd Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Eh I just did the survey as if I was still playing. You wouldn't really find many people still playing in OT. Same. Anyways a lot of the questions didn't apply to Runescape. [iNSERT "I R EATIN TEH SHIX ATM" BILL COSBY SIGNATURE GIF HERE, LOL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sephiroth_king Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Nice survey, I hope it helps you with your thesis! I enjoyed answering the questions to the best of my ability (At one point in the survey, I answered nearly all "Nevers" so it looks like I wasn't even trying, I apologize). Happy Christmahanukwanzaka--Happy New Year! : Hoping to get a new Signature (with matching avatar) soon. :D In the meantime...Steam username: )I'll rewrite it later (add me if you want) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conani Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 I filled it in as best I could to suit RS, I hope it helps your survey. Good luck and Merry Christmas! :) Hey guys and girls, Thanks for taking part. I need a huge sample of gamers to take part. I'm aiming for a sample of 1000 gamers from all over the world. Dark Wizard, you're at Nottingham Uni, woop woop. Nottingham Uni campus is beautiful. I think it's one of the best campus's in the UK. However, Nottingham Trent is an excellent Uni right in the heart of Nottingham. I would appreciate it if you all took part. Happy holidays.

RichieMcD Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Seems quite geared towards WoW considering it's the most popular of MMORPG's but this is a RS fan forum so finding a proper answered survey might be hard. Good luck anyway, I did it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 It does seem biased to WoW. Also it would be nice if a few questions were clarified a bit more. For example, I put "sometimes" for enjoying annoying people because I do get crazy enjoyment out of annoying an enemy faction player. :) However I wouldn't do the same to someone on my own faction unless they annoyed me. Not a bad survey though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyboo2 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 yeah i answered it as if i was back in the day when i played at my peak. Hope it helped. Yeah...Some people just go out of their way to ruin other peoples fun.Sounds like Jagex to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conani Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Thanks all for the kind words of encouragement. Last time I checked I had 906 completed surveys. I would appreciate it if you could ask your gamer friends to take part. May be you could send them the links. Did you know that Runescape was developed by a gamer from Nottingham? That's where I study incidently. It's a small world hey. It seems like most of the gamers in this forum ate from the UK. Am I right in saying this? Does anyone know the exact number of gamers who play Runescape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conani Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 The links are just what they appear to be. I checked them by hovering my mouse over them and then clicked on them using a Ubuntu virtual machine. They're safe. I suppose there are some advantages to having a ridiculously high postcount. The liks are perfectly safe. I'm just a student looking for participants to take a survey for my University degree. I've got better things to do than distribute virus's.

Returned3 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I never knew post-counts mean a thing on the TIF. I guess post-counts actually mean amount of trust possessed. (Nothing serious, really) Did the survey nonetheless, was rather interesting actually. 00:00:0500:00:0400:00:0300:00:0200:00:0100:00:00 Break the Walls down!

(Nothing serious, really) Did the survey nonetheless, was rather interesting actually. Hey, thanks for filling in the survey. Is Randy Orton a WWE wrestler? I havent' watched WWE for a long time. Is he better than the Undertaker? What do all the gamers who filled in the survey think of the survey? What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of the survey? Your feedback would be appreciated, whether that is good or bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
