Hey Guys
I am currently conducting a research on computer mediated communication, and am specifying this to games, and NWN2 in particular.
I'm a student at the University of Utrecht (the Netherlands) and I study Computer Science.
As you can see, i'm a new member of this forum, The thing is i'm interested in the design features of the game that facilitate communication and also the forums where people hang out and talk about the game. We recently conducted a survey but to get more specific information i still need a few thing and i was hoping u guys could help me out
.
First of all i want to experience the multiplayer experience of NWN, so i was wondering if there is a group with whom i could play. I will just be walking with u guys, trying to stay out of your way but be more focused on the communicative aspect of it all.
second i was wondering if i could interview some members of this forum, be it via i.m. or via e-mail. These interviews could help us be more specific about certain aspects of communication and game design that this game offers.
I know i'm asking quite a few things, but i hope u guys could help me!
U can p.m. me or send me an e-mail and i will get in touch with you.
Thankz in advance!
