New Edition of the Daedalus Project

Nick Yee writes "The Daedalus Project is an ongoing survey study of MMORPG players. Over the past 5 years, more than 35,000 MMORPG players have participated in the study. A new issue is now available at the Daedalus Project site. Some highlights from the current issue include: About 26% of female players are introduced to the game by a romantic partner, compared with 1% of male players, An extensive interview with the leader of a top-ranked WoW guild (they just killed Ragnaros recently), and Narratives from players who play with their romantic partners, family members, friends and co-workers illustrating the good and bad things about playing with someone you know in real life."
