Subject: [eqbards] EQ Survey
Hello.
I am a student at Queen's University in Canada who is taking part in
a research project that is studying Everquest. After spending
numerous hours (or perhaps months would be a better way to put it!)
playing the game we have put together a brief survey, which should
take no more than ten minutes to complete. We are trying to get a
better understanding of the relationships which develop in the vast
land of Norrath. If you are interested in participating merely cut
and paste the questions below and e-mail your replies to
7jss1@... Any comments or questions would be welcome and
appreciated. The survey can also be found at
http://qlink.queensu.ca/~7jss1/eqsurvey.htm
Thank you,
