MMO user research

[RubyRose]

I started to check out your survey, but was immediately taken aback by the first question. Having the check box for transgender is pretty incorrect and discriminatory. As Jewelfox has pointed out many transgender folk do identify as either male or female, as that is infact what they are. Trans women are women, trans men are men. Though, opposed to having the other option being genderqueer, I suggest it being non-binary(Since genderqueer is a non-binary gender.) a separate part of the trans community whose genders (Yes, multiple.) vary indefinitely. An "other" or "would rather not say" option would also serve well.

Good luck on your survey and I hope you take my advice into consideration.

Took the survey.

To the people who remarked on the 'transgender option';
- would you consider "other" as a viable third option?
- or would "what gender are you (or do you identify with)" be an appropriate way of asking?

I'm asking because I might need to do surveys myself soon, and this is obviously a somewhat touchy point for people.

I did the survey.

Just put an 'other' and/or 'would rather not say.'

@JewelFox, RubyRose, Alice_89th, and TheRogueX- Thank you very much for this input, this was something I went back to early on and tried to hash out before I put the survey up. I had *thought* I had worded it "what do you identify as", but apparently I messed that up and my source wasn't very accurate on the transgender thing. Thank you very much, I apologize for my error here. I will be sure to avoid this moving on.

I've hit 247 responses now, well over doubling what I thought I would achieve, what a helpful community!

I took your survey for you. Like someone else said, interesting questions - for once they weren't all the same ones. I tried to be as detailed as possible!

[Shougun]

The forums is quite awesome for surveys~

I did one once and got way more responses than I expected lol.

Keep the thread alive for a while longer, I'm sure the counter is just going to keep going.

Bumping this, took the survery! Did not see Phantasy Star Online, cried, got over it, posted on the forums and pointed it out.
DONE!

[Jett]

Yes going through the responses it seems Phantasy Star Online is one I should have definitely included! Sorry bout that! I will be counting up each individual response of people that made note of that though (and there are A LOT of you)

[Jett]

Again I would like to thank everyone. It seems I've reached as many responses as I'm going to get, and I am quite happy with the number, just about a dozen short of 300. Thank you all so much!
