According to a 2009 study, 68% of American households played video games (Entertainment Software Association).

A video game of particular interest is a massive online game known as World of Warcraft, drawing over twelve million players worldwide (Blizzard Entertainment, 2010). With a cyberspace-based culture, World of Warcraft exposes its players to phenomenon that are unique to it, and thereby not easily understood through the same measures and evaluations offered by society

Design philosophies in MMOs seem to have seen a shift in recent years. What used to be designs for social dependencies and challenging content seems to have become designs for social independence and casual play. This has not gone by unnoticed by communities of players that have gradually increased in size, hoping to find regression in design philosophies for their favorite games. This study combines the social component of Yee’s (2006) model for motivations for online play with Bradner’s (2001) concept of social affordances, and quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews in order to exa

Massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) present fantastic, persistent worlds and narratives for a community of players to experience through pre-defined rules, roles, and environments.

Within these games, some players have turned to role-playing to establish meaningful connections to these worlds by expanding upon and subverting the game

Abstract:
This dissertation examines how gender is expressed and performed in the virtual gaming community of World of Warcraft. Players were approached through the medium of the game and through various on-line bulletin boards to answer surveys and open-ended interview questions about their experiences as a female player or with female players in this virtual society. In addition to answering questions, this project involved participant observations within several different types of realms or servers in World of Warcraft in order to gain a better understanding of community dynamics.

Os jogos eletrônicos denominados Massive Multiplayer Online, nos quais milhares de pessoas podem estar conectadas simultaneamente, são tomados como exemplo atual de jogos coletivos. A partir da análise biopolítica de Michel Foucault, são investigadas as construções identitárias individuais, os papéis sociais e compromissos assumidos com outros jogadores e as aprendizagens e disciplinas reforçadas em tais jogos, tomando como referência o jogo World of Warcraft, o mais popular do gênero, atualmente.

Abstract:
The possibility of co-creation exists for all media, but game design has developed a culture that is unusually open to co-creation. This dissertation investigates significant cases of co-creation in mainstream games in order to explore how games can be co-created as alternative or critical media by their players. The core argument in the dissertation is that players co-create the design of a game only if certain conditions are met, namely: (1) player creation of a text or communication infrastructure that modifies the properties of the game and from which play emerges; (2) that this is done fo
