Questionnaire

[Furtivus]

Recently I have been collecting my thoughts, and with a lot of time on my hands I have been thinking of making a book, a small one at least. To do this I have been thinking of collecting some data, ingame and through the fourms with some simple questions. If you dont want to answer any, I undestand and it is not madatory. Thank You

Does a MMORPG gaming addiction exist? Yes.
Would you consider yourself an addict? I was, but not any more.
How many hours a day do you play? None. (I quit cold turkey)
Which age group do you belong to (under 18, 19-25, 26-30, 35 +) ? 19-25
What type of player would you consider yourself, Casual, Role-Playing, or Harcore gamer? None of the above. Variable depending on mood and game.
What is your estimate of the population in the MMORPG gaming world? I honestly have no clue.
What is the number one problem in the MMORPG industry today? The popularity of the genre. It's like the movie industry- instead of a few really good quality flicks like in the past, now the screens are filled with massive amounts of worthless junk and occasionally something worthwhile. In game terms, this means lots of people playing lots of worthless games, undermining focus and effort on any really good projects.
