Hi all,
Name is Matthew, and I'm from the small island of Malta. I am currently a member of the local University research group which is doing a study on browser-based MMORPGs. My initial work is to gather as much info from highly experienced players as possible about pros and cons of browser-based vs. stand-alone games of this genre. Later on, I'll be dealing with the levels of 'immersion' and 'flow' as well.
I was generously offered to join this forum by Tim to get a closer look at how factions work and also possibly to see if there are any other members who wish to help us out in this research but answering a few questions. As for confidentiality issues, I will not use any information in this forum without consent from the source. And if any of you are interested in a copy of the research paper, I'll be more than happy to send it to you once the study is complete.
I'll not interfere in the general talk unless specifically asked to do so. I will be asking some general questions, is all.
Any members who find any objection to my presence here please say so or speak directly to Tim about it.
Also, even though I play Tyrant, I belong to no faction. So ease your thoughts about some undercover spy work
Thanks
MAtthew
