Daedalus Project Redesigned

Nick Yee writes "The Daedalus Project is back with new findings and a total redesign. The Daedalus Project is an ongoing study that has surveyed over 35,000 MMORPG players over the past 5 years." This issue includes a look at Player Motivations, Immersion, and the different types of Socialization.

Motivations?

[Profane MuthaFucka]

Oh come on. Like every human endeavor that was ever undertaken, playing MMORPGs is just another complicated scheme to get laid. I'm sure it's working for somebody.

Yes, I met a cute, bisexual, nymphomaniac with large breasts and an interest in computers and cars, thanks to WoW.

One day I hope to take her out on a date.


What? What?! Why are you all looking at me like? Its true, I swear!!

It's true! It works! I've gotten so "addicted" to playing WoW that my wife has been having more sex with me to get me away from the computer! All is proceeding according to plan...

Man, best study...EVAR.

Player Motivations: To Kill The Ruby Dragon, And Get Laid.

Immersion: Deep Enough That You Still Live In Your Parents Basement And You're Thirty.

Socialization: This ones a joke, right?

Best part of the Daedalus Project?
