Nick Yee, [pdf] Motivations of Play in Online Games, 2007

 

interesting ^^

 

 

that speaks about main motivations of player to invest time in MMORPG (competition, teamwork, socializing, customization, escapism...). serious search made by a sociologist...

 

i know that this forum is the realm of cheaters who want "by essence" be at the top of competition and roooxing ^^ but btw I hope that it is not only the case  ::) ;D

rofl.....

xDD

i don't read all i was bored :P

[kamael]

your source is irrelevant, since the survey wasnt done on l2 :P

 

seriously, i rarely play single player now, simply because that seems like a waste of time, not mmorpg, or any online game

 

since this way you do interact with someone, be it a bar or a pc, its still interaction

of course it cant substitute rl communication, at least not yet, but it is what it is

 

an addiction, and not that big of an addiction really, not for me at least

Language formal in style- difficult to understand. Btw, interesting ;)
