Janet For a psychology based investigation of online gamers, try Nick Yee. http://www.nickyee.com/eqt/report.html for extended research into EverQuest players. and http://www.nickyee.com/daedalus/ for a more generalised investigation into MMORPG players. For my money TL Taylor's approach is way more interesting, but if you are after psychology framed studies, Yee will suit you better. cheers Sal Humphreys Dr Sal Humphreys Post Doctoral Fellow Faculty of Creative Industries Queensland University of Technology Brisbane, Australia Mob. 0414 456 078
