Thank you Most of what is in the survey is from other studies and books non had taken this angle; however, I've learnt so much more from actual gamers. I hope this opens up dialogue and research around how certain virtual world features can support or hinder how people interact, and in turn in make these experiences better and more human.

Thank you so much for the feedback and information I really appreciate it I don't have as much virtual world platform experience as you do, but I am really interested in how the design methodologies used to create them and how that can be improved to create a better user experiences.

I understand, I will try see if I can get an alternative for people who don't use Google.

Thank you for the feedback, it's because that is the only way to separate Second Life players from other MUVE players or non-gamers. I will look into how I can make it work with checkboxes.

I completely agree with you about personal or individual ethics not corresponding in any population, but I was speaking about Ethical Design which is about business ethics. So, I edited it out as it's causing some confusion. It was NOT individual/personal ethics.

Nope, it's research for a school paper.

Hey @Selene Gregoire Thank you so much for sharing this I've actually just started gathering data for the thesis; therefore, I will be conducting a survey and interviews. Here's a link to the survey - https://forms.gle/WsDpUHBB35NcrMuk6 Also, let me know if you would like to be participate in the interviews

Hey @Kyujin, Yes, I still need participants I've actually just started gathering data for the thesis; therefore, I will be conducting a survey and interviews. Here's a link to the survey - https://forms.gle/WsDpUHBB35NcrMuk6 Please let me know if you keen to do the short 30 minute interview, we can even do it in Second Life I think the fact that you play other virtual worlds like OurWorld and Yoworld is very valuable for this study. Thank you for your time and for agreeing to help us with this study, we really appreciate it.

I am a Master's student, and I am conducting research on social interaction values in online multi-user virtual environments. We want to find out what people value in multiuser online games and virtual environments. This information will be used to suggest improvements to these systems that enhance how people socially interact with each other. This survey is entirely anonymous, and we will not ask for any personal information. We realise how precious your time is. That is why we made sure this survey will only take less than 10 minutes. Additionally, we are conducting interviews with multiuser online gamers and virtual environments users, and it would be great if you could have time to participate. Please let me know if you would like to and I will send you more information. Free free to contact me. Thank you for your time and for agreeing to help us with this study, we really appreciate it.

Hi there, My name is Mandla, I'm a MSc Interaction Design student at Cyprus University of Technology. I'm working on my thesis which is about improving social interaction in Virtual Environments/Reality. I will be using Second Life for the study and looking for participants that are keen to help. Feel free to contact me on mandla@idmaster.eu if you're interested and I'll provide more information. Thank you,
