hello federico,
would you mind telling me where to get Nicholas
Yee's works? (in case you have them, as you said they are
unpublished..)
one site dealing with the psychology of mmorpgs
is this one:
it seems to be quite extensive and features a
big psychological study of everquest.
hope that is of interest to you!
cheers,

Hello to everyone. I'm a PhD student in Mass
Communication at the University of Georgia and have just subscribed to this
list.
I am in the preliminary stages (read:
literature collection) of research project regarding the psychology of, and
construction of community in, MMORPGs (Massively Muliplayer Online Role
Playing Games). I was wondering if anyone knew of any academic studies of
online gaming (in any context, not limited to the ones I described). I've
only managed to find the works of Nicholas Yee regarding MMORPGs and Ever
Quest in particular (but none of those have have been published anywhere
despite being rather extensive).
Any help/advice is much
appreciated.
