Daedalus Project

[jabadue]

Has anyone ever checked out the Daedalus project? It has some interesting
data on mmorpg psychology, and I would be curious what people think.

For example there is data on whether people behave worse or better
(answer is better) in online games, Gender bending (males more
likely to play female characters than vice versa), and guild dynamics.

Wow, that's interesting.

(( I am a Sociology major, and I'm studying MMORPGs myself. Particularly WoW and an obscure Mac MMO called Clan Lord. I've seen work from Project Massive, and the aggregated data from the Bartle Test (which, interestingly enough, was not actually written by Richard Bartle at all), but I hadn't heard of the Daedalus Project until just now. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

On a related note, I'm going to be doing my own research on the subject (complete with survey and all), which should be going up around the end of the week. I'll be pestering you all with it, and there will be plenty of information to go around when I get it up. *grins*


Edit- Having read this, I should reiterate: THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH! (Heh, excuse the caps, but I do, indeed, feel like yelling and/or jumping up and down with joy, because this is the best phrased/thought out survey of its sort I've seen, and it solves a *lot* of phrasing issues I've been struggling with. For contrast, view this survey from the Lightninghoof server, which made me wince.)
