Addicted to MMOs? Like the BBC?
|
Or maybe dislike the BBC. Doesn't really matter, to tell the truth. Aaaanyway... the BBC (British Broadcasting Company for you philistines out there) is in the beginning stages of an hour-long television documentary about MMOGs and the people who play them. The film is slated to be broadcast early in 2007.
If you fall into any of these categories...
Is your Avatar more like 'you' than you are?
Are you making a lot of virtual money? And turning it into 'real' money?
Are you a typical online gamer, or do you break the geek-mould?
The BBC is making a new documentary about the meteoric rise of MMORPGs and other virtual worlds: featuring interviews with game designers, psychologists, economists and of course, gamers - which is where you come in...
We're looking for a wide range of gamers (UK and US) to feature in the film - from teenagers to pensioners, newbies to guild leaders, and from addicts to part-timers.
We're particularly interested in hearing from you if:
* You're passionate about your Avatar - whether it's just like you, or contrasts dramatically with your life offline
* You make real money through your dealings in a game
* You are worried about addiction - either for yourself, a friend, or a relative
* You are organising a protest or event in a game
* You regularly meet with other gamers in the outside world
If you're interested, please get in touch by emailing virtualworlds [at] bbc.co.uk. We'll follow up with a phone call.
...then you might want to check this out. After all, who DOESN'T want to be on British TV?
