Dear AoIR-lers:
I need some help. I was invited to participate in a conference for games developers and multimedia artist, and I´m thinking to talk about user´s rebellions in online games and virtual worlds. Reading the Celia Pearce´s book "Communities of play" (excellent reading) I found a mention of a WoW rebellion, in 2004. Can you suggest me some other readings about this kind of grass-root protest movements? Also any pictures? Thank you very much =)

I've just completed a dissertation chapter about WoW that discusses, among other things, why we see so little protest in WoW. If you email me I'm happy to send a copy. Also, in relation to WoW - you might look at the recent issue around Blizzard planning to force the use of real names on the WoW forums, as well as other debates surrounding the "RealID" tool in their games in general. I believe there was a nice piece on Terra Nova about the change as well as coverage on WoW Insider and other places. Best, Jessica -------------------------------------- Jessica L.
