Feel free to ask me any questions about our study.

Hello Everyone,

I am a college student in the “Games for the Web” course at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.

Our class is currently analyzing transnational interactions among gamers from around the globe, and are playing a variety of MMORPG’s in order to meet a wide range of gamers with different cultural backgrounds and interests.

In an effort to collect essential information for our research on international gaming, we have created a survey on our website. Please visit our site, review and complete the survey, explore the pages, post comments on our forums, and join us in our pursuit to unravel the complex issues of cross-cultural (transnational) interactions.

Also, feel free to email us questions, comments, concerns, or useful information; we are always looking for participation!

Thank you in advance for your time and for allowing us to be part of the community. We are committed to behaving as responsible, ethical and respectful scholars. We understand that the MMORPG community has been surveyed to death during the past several years, and promise that we will not waste your time with the “hit and run” research. We are approaching this project in the spirit of collaborative, participatory research, and will be publicly sharing our findings and thoughts on the course website and resources; after all, we are all participants in the global gaming community, so our research is for the benefit all, not just for a select few.

This course is being taught by Professor Aaron Delwiche in the Department of Communication. If you have any concerns about this class, please feel free to contact him via e-mail (adelwich@trinity.edu).

Thank you for your time and voluntary participation!

Hello all,

I'm Ray. I am a student at Trinity University doing a study on MMORPGs and transnational play or playing online games with players from around the world. We're trying to get a variety of different viewpoints right now on playing internationally with other players. I'll be providing more information later on.
