FFXIV Player Survey

[Zenier]

*snip*

Thanks for filling the survey!

The part with gil is worded with "please estimate roughly" just for that reason, so the amounts can be guestimated on the spot. "I am recognized for..." is to measure what is player's position in a community and in what way, also there have been some (quite little though) talk in academic papers about recognition particularly in-game (and/or -communities). I know the census data is outdated, but I can not fully rely on fan-made census-data to be up to date on these things, unfortunately. This also leaves me unable to rely on character data from xiv-minions.com for example.

Done. There some questions that were better off as just plain yes & no.

[Caitlinzulu]

Filled it out, interesting. Some questions where hard to answer

[Malzian]

That trick question near the end, though... >.>

When you asked about general MMORPG preferences, it was a bit difficult to answer because my answer to a few of the questions are game or even content specific. For instance, I'm generally not very concerned with min/maxing in FFXIV or SWTOR at all, but in WoW I was downright compulsive about it, but I was also doing serious content there.

Yeah, the shift to general MMORPG preferences is due to that section using Nick Yee's "Game Play Motivations" scale from 2006 (that is aimed specifically at MMORPGs, despite the name). And if possible I do not want to edit already existing scales so that the data I have, is comparable to earlier publications using it. Also, it gives me better grounds to work on the data to test my hypotheses.

Survey done, good luck!

[Nestmile]

I always overthink these sorts of things, but I tried my best, haha.

I've read some of Nick Yee's work, myself (actually as part of a class that the professor required we play FFXIV together for!). Cool stuff.

Best of luck with your thesis!

Done, very interesting survey. Hope your Thesis goes well.
