Those of you familiar with “The Daedalus Project” know the name Nick Yee. The first issue of this project consisted of the results of many surveys and studies that he had conducted about the genereal MMORPG populous on subjects such as "How Much Would You Sell Your Account For?" and "Most Important Aspect Of Game". I recieved an email in my inbox this morning giving me a heads up that Nick has released Issue 1-2 of "The Daedalus Project" Very cool stuff here. He has the results of more studies that he has conducted, along with a new survey that "tries to explore connections between a player's personality and how it influences their in-game behaviors and preferences." Suggested survey time is 10-15 minutes, but if you're with it and moving along it should take you closer to the lesser time. Some interesting articles I felt were "Players Who Have Quit" which gives good info on basically who has played and left the online games we all know and love(or hate ;)). Nick had access to many players who had originally participated in his studies in the beginning, but have now quit the game(s). With the numbers he's working with, it seems he has a lot of emails in his address book! To follow up this article, there's a section with 'testimonails' (as I like to call them) of players who have commented on specifically why they quit the game they were playing called "Narratives: Why We Quit""Narratives: Why We Quit". If you've ever wondered why anyone would leave the sweet, sweet heaven that is EQ(little bit of sarcasm there), then check out the article and you'll see where people are comming from. Very nice to get a candid sampling of why people quit playing these games, especially for any beginning game developers out there! These, by all means, aren't the only reasons to check out this issue, but I'm just trying to hook ya in to read! Its a good issue, and I'd like to thank Nick Yee for the heads up, as well as his hard work! -Kenti
