elentari270 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Hello, My name is Sarah, and I am an undergraduate enrolled in a course on virtual worlds at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. Our class has been playing Everquest II for the past four months, with characters ranging in level from 10 to 27. As part of an ongoing research project, I would like to speak with people over the age of 18 about their thoughts on the many reasons people have for playing as "evil" characters. If you enjoy playing as an antihero or part of the darker side of the game world, I would greatly appreciate your insight. These interviews could take place via e-mail, in-game, or over an anonymous instant messaging connection. I will preserve the anonymity and confidentiality of all participants. If you are willing to be interviewed about your thoughts on this topic, please reply to this message and I will contact you. I understand that the gaming community is bombarded with survey requests that never lead anywhere. This request is different. Our class is committed to sharing its research findings. At the end of the semester, all student papers and presentations will be linked to the course web site and made available to anyone with an Internet connection. For more details about our course and the research project, visit: http://www.trinity.edu/adelwich/worlds/faq.html Thank you in advance for your time.

Reclaimer Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Umm, isn't this kinda strange? You want us to do a survey about Everguest 2's evil characters, or just about any ordinary evil character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I would be willing to participate. And just so you know, posting your email address is against the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I would be willing to participate. And just so you know, posting your email address is against the rules. Yep, it is. I guess I will participate too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth InSidious Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 A course. As in a university degree in virtual worlds? O_o I really should have gone to San Antonio... On-topic: Sometimes I feel like playing DS, sometimes LS, but played both KotORs through DS first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elentari270 Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 Umm, isn't this kinda strange? You want us to do a survey about Everguest 2's evil characters, or just about any ordinary evil character. To further explain my intent, I am interested the motivations to play "evil" characters in all types of games. If you play Everquest II, I would be more than happy to talk with you about that. However, since this forum is for Knights of the Old Republic, I am hoping to discuss your experiences within this game. Also, I apologize for breaking the rules by including my e-mail address. I have edited my original post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I usually play as both at least once, but most of the time I stay neutral, anywhere from 40-60, where 0 is completely Dark Side and 100 is completely Light Side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I always play as an evil character. Out of the dozens of times (maybe more) that I've played the KotOR games, I've only played as a Light Side character twice. I would also be willing to participate in this survey via PM or e-mail.

RaV™ Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I'm willing to be apart of this survey. Just a quick note I only play darkside/evil in any game I have the opportunity to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I'm willing to be apart of this survey. Just a quick note I only play darkside/evil in any game I have the opportunity to. You are missing so much cool stuff playing only one alignment. The game can be quite different depending on light/dark responses. Must be nice to play a video game for a college course.

Det. Bart Lasiter Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Must be nice to play a video game for a college course. I happen to like calculus, particle physics, and quantum mechanics...

REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 @Sarah, This is interesting (and also one of my favorite game-plot/SW subjects), could you provide more details about what you would like to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediAthos Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Sarah, I would love to lend a hand as I think it could provide for some interesting results. You are welcome to contact me as well. Just let me know what information you need and I can send you a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ztalker Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 It's the opposite in my case I always play the LS-jedi knight ^^ Although i'm trying to fry some people with Force Lightning, it's jsut not my thing. I don't know why. The Light Side appeals more to me. I don't know why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Still there Sarah? They have similar stuff at OhioU too, but they also host an arcade for the students. Anyone in one of those courses should make a similar suggestion to the P.T.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 When I played KoTOR and TSL for the first time, I played the Light Side version (what can I say, deep down I'm a really nice guy), but I always like to try the Dark Side, too, after I finish the LS version.
