All of you seems to be a great fans of this game
Do you mind to share your thoughts on how the game changed your life?

Moved to Questionnaires as it's a better fit here. Have fun with the research :).

"Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for." Can games be art?

My blog here if you want to check out my Times articles and other writings! I always appreciate comments/feedback.

Hi Andrew, I quit the game years ago but I don't mind sharing my thoughts.

Positives:
* Made some great friends

* Helped me through my teenage years and into my early adult life

* Gave my life order and structure

* Helped me plan my goals, and money handling skills for life such as saving for items

* Made me a better thinker and analyst

* Helped me better socially, developed a sense of humour, trusting relationships and found myself as a person as a result of the game

 

Negatives:
* Got in the way of my studies in a lot of cases

* Hindered my real-world development

* Always ended up playing more then I should have allocated to the game

* Placed it over more-important real life tasks

 

I'd recommend supplementing your study with this Ted-Talks:

There's tangible benefits with gaming and he talks about Generation-G, I do think RuneScape made me better as a person.

I do think there's a correlation as he speaks about in that video too. there's a lot I could write here for your study about how I maybe evolved over the years but then you have quantitative research and not qualitative and I'm not sure which approach you are condoning in your study.

Best of luck!
