Hello everyone! My name is Dawn, I'm 24, from Halifax, NS and I appeared in the guild yesterday with my Gnome Warlock, Meida. (My main on Wyrmrest Accord is a Night Elf Priest named Meida. All of the names I wanted were taken. It might get confusing for me, lol.)
I'm here because I'm doing a little undergraduate project on Christian World of Warcraft guilds. I'm here to play with you, have a good time and learn as much as I can about the community. There may be interviews, questions and stuff like that, but you are only required to participate as much or as little as you like. With a little memo, anything can be "off the record". I'm not here to invade your privacy or slander your group, I would just like to learn what I can and show that knowledge to others.
This is a project for a class so it won't be published in any scholarly journal, simply circulated about the class and probably posted here (I warn you, there will be jargon) if you like. I want you to feel confident that you are being fairly represented. If you are concerned and will like to pull out of this research please contact me (however you like) and say so, attaching a list of your alts so I can make sure not to accidentally include you. You can remove yourself from it at ANY time. The minors in the group will not be interviewed or named in the study. I would like to use people's first names, but if you have a problem with that you can just say so, screen names or nothing are completely fine with me. Again, you can remove yourself from the study at ANY time.
My primary question for this project is to see how your faith interacts with how you play the game. Does it influence the way you relate to the in-game world? What quests you do, what characters you make? If there isn't much to see there, there is still much to discover about how you all unite in a virtual community under a shared variety of denominations. I'll really be looking at how the core of the community is formed.
If there are any concerns or questions I am absolutely willing to accomodate you. I am here to serve!
