GW2 University Project

[superstarnova]

Hi guys,

My name's Mary and I'm a student at the University of Victoria currently doing a study of the Guild Wars 2 community for an anthropology class. I'm interested in finding out how people form relationships online, specifically in this amazing game. I've been a player for about 4 years now and have a deep love for this game, so I figured I would use this to my advantage for some course credit. I am currently a lvl 62 Sylvari Ranger working towards my World Completion medal, so I am an active and engaged player.

So, I am here to ask the community if anyone would like to get involved with my project! I'm looking for participants who I can interview about their experiences with the community of the game, as well as tag along in-game to get a better feel of these interactions. Since this is, in fact, a formal study, I can assure full confidentiality and anonymity with my university's consent form. I will NOT require any personal information such as real name, age, location, or gender, and I encourage any email contact to be on a separate email than that used for your game account. If anybody is interested, or would just like some more information, please feel free to message me via this forum account, or message me in-game at Finley Oakes.

I really hope this came across with good intentions, as I care about this game as much as any player, and to become a more engaged part of the community while doing this project would mean the world to me!

Thanks everybody!

Mary

So, let me get this straight... you've been play Guild Wars 2 for four years? Not only have you been playing it for four years, but during those four years, you've only managed to get a single character up to level 62?

Something stinks in this thread...

I'm pretty sure she meant she has been a gamer for four years. And loves GW2.

Way to call something out that is so IRRELEVANT. Why respond to something like this with your rubbish?
If you think your funny, your not. Its comments like that that give forums a bad name because people dont want to post to be hassled by people like yourself.

Well, she says she doesn't need any of your personal information. She always advised against using the same email account you use to login.

I would say this is legit and I wish you luck Mary!
