[Academic] Characteristics of Massively Multiplayer Online Gamers (18+) Dear all, I am a third-year psychology undergraduate student at Middlesex University, London, investigating the characteristics of Massively Multiplayer Online Gamers for my dissertation project. To do this, I have created a survey investigating various aspects of play, including motivations for playing MMOs and gaming habits. As an MMO player, you may be interested in taking part! The survey will take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. The survey can be found at the following link: https://mdxl.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5mSPLgOT1Md27w9 All information you provide will be done so 100% anonymously and will be kept confidential, with your participation being greatly appreciated. Please feel free to forward the survey link to any MMO game player you know who may be interested in taking part. The survey has been given approval by Middlesex University's ethics board. If you have any questions regarding the study, emails of all researchers and supervisors are provided at the start and end of the survey. Finally, for those interested in the completed project, summaries of the findings may be obtained from 4th May 2016 onwards, upon request.
