  1. And I do intend to summarize, etc. The main point of the survey is to get a over-arching point-of-view from 3 perspectives, griefer, victim and witness. A followup interview will help identify things in a more personal manner.
  2. The server hosting the survey had a hardware failure over the weekend and is now fixed. The survey is ready to go again! Oh and I have tried to post in the EVE forums but using a trial account does not allow me.
  3. Thesis Title: Causes, Magnitude and Implications of Griefing in Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games http://medusa.ballarat.edu.au/limesurvey/index.php?sid=44463 Hello, My name is Leigh Achterbosch and I am a candidate for PhD at the University of Ballarat, Australia. I am inviting you to participate in a study about the act of griefing and its implications in Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs). This is one of many invitations posted on various MMORPG and online game forums. This research will explore the following questions; what are the causes and implications of griefing in MMORPGs, and what magnitude of griefing exists in this genre? The intention is to contribute new research and knowledge about griefing and its sociological impact. The study will involve an online survey for participants of the ages 16 and above. This survey will cover your experiences as someone that has performed griefing, been subjected to griefing, or as a witness to the acts of griefing. You are invited to participate by following the link http://medusa.ballarat.edu.au/limesurvey/index.php?sid=44463 and completing the questionnaire that will take approximately 20 minutes of your time (You can save and reload unfinished surveys should you require). You will remain anonymous by completing this survey. The online survey will remain open until an appropriate sample size is collected. I will repost here when the survey has closed. At some point in the future when data has been collated and analyzed I will repost with some preliminary results in this forum thread. I would like to thank you up front for any time you allocate towards this research endeavor. Feel free to spread this survey link around! Yours sincerely, Leigh Achterbosch PhD Candidate University of Ballarat, Australia lacherbosch [AT] ballarat.edu.au (please replace AT with @)
