Project Group: Social Status in WoW

Hey, our group doesn't really have a name yet, but we are going to be examining social status in World of Warcraft. It's a broad aspect, but each member of our team will be examining a specific in game factor that influences what people think and know about your character online.

Claire will research Guilds (in-game player-made organizations).
Bryan is looking at levels and loot (items and gold).
Rebecca is working with Player vs. Player interactions.
Hank wants to examine roleplaying.

Right now, we're planning to use participant observation (playing the game) and interviewing (chatting with people in game) as our primary methods for collecting datum. Give me a message if you have any questions or suggestions for us!
