Researcher Dmitri Williams and his team have been doing some very hardcore MMO-related research. Thanks to Raph Koster, they were given free reign with the whole of SOE's EverQuest II-related user statistics. They've produced the first of many papers, this one called "Who plays, how much, and why? Debunking the stereotypical gamer profile," which is completely and freely available online.
CCP Games has unveiled an ambitious roadmap for their sci-fi MMO EVE Online in 2024, headlined by the massive Equinox expansion set to launch on June 11th.
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
despise MMO gaming. The idea of havinf to play lousy monthly fees plus having to upgrade my pc just to get the game to run on it decently is just annoying.
Thank god we have console gaming.

i play action
i play adventure

Who would actually say about themselve that they are fat slob?
I mean come on.
I'm 6.3 205pound and i have a bit of a belly (to much beer maybe??) I don't consider myself fat. But apparently i should be at least 5 pound lighter.
No one would answer how they really feel about themselve . this survey was flawed even before it got started.
Rock Band Fan??

Haha, that South Park episode was hilarious.
I didn't imagine MMO players to look quite like that, but I didn't think they were in better shape... Maybe do a study on WOW players next time? They spend more time playing, don't they?
