Computer game surveillance questionnaire

Thanks for visiting the questionnaire. My name is Christopher Dodds and I'm a research student at RMIT University's School of Creative Media. I'm conducting an investigation into surveillance within massively multiplayer online games such as World of Warcraft and SecondLife. The questionnaire will take between 2 and 20 minutes to complete depending on how much information you're willing to supply. I'm interested in stories and observations, so feel free to ramble if you're that way inclined. I have a plain language statement available if you'd like to read about the research before answering any questions.

Your participation is greatly appreciated.
