The objective of the study is to present and discuss attitudes, perceptions and opinions about sexism and gendered play in the massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMO), World of Warcraft. Through the use of an online survey which includes both multiple choice questions and open-ended questions, the research discusses the major themes and findings expressed by the World of Warcraft forum users (N = 294). The descriptive statistical findings presented are derived from the multiple choice questions. Within the sample, the results reveal that sexism is a contentious topic in the World of Warcraft community. 63.6% (n = 75) of female respondents reported experiencing sexism within the game. 27.5% (n = 44) of male respondents and 45.3% (n = 53) of female respondents believe that sexism is a problem in the game. Overall, 64.4% (n = 183) of the respondents reported sexism as a non-issue in the game. Themes surrounding the topic of sexism experienced within the game are presented based on frequency of homogenous responses. Based on the multiple choice questions and the open-ended questions, the research argues that sexism and gendered play in gaming should be studied more closely, as the results reveal that many MMO players are affected negatively by it.
@gta5sman This kind of thing is only really done on server based multiplayer games. That way the server creates the world and then sends that out to all the players, so everyone has the same items in the same places.
The funny thing is that when Psygnosis first brought out their multiplayer Formula 1 game, it had the same problem. Both players were on the same track but the cars in each persons game were doing different things.
First of all the description for this modes states:\n"Ever dreamed of a cooperative mode in a grand theft auto game? Well, now it's a reality, sort of. "\nMy friend and I are using Multiplayer Co-oP Mod 0.9.3 and it works fine.\nThe problem is that we do not see the same NPCs (vehicles, pedestrians, etc..) as you would if playing in the online mode.\nFor instance, when our players are standing next to each other in the game, on his screen you can see the cops on the street, but on my screen I do not see the cops. Also when he is shooting at something, I do not see the items he his shooting at.\nFor example, we both have the Vehicle Cannon 2.0 mod installed and they work on both computers. However, in the Co-op mode, I can't see the cars being shot out of his gun on my screen and he can't see the cars shooting out of my gun on his screen.\nBasically, it seems that we do not really share the same world together, we only share a "sort of" world, but cannot interact with the same NPCs.\nIs this what the description on the mod page means by "sort of"?\nIs there any way to fully share the same world?\n","tid":"9057","uid":"35914","upvotes":0,"downvotes":0,"votes":0,"timestampISO":"2017-04-08T18:43:02.525Z","editedISO":"","index":0,"user":"uid":"35914","username":"gta5sman","fullname":"","userslug":"gta5sman","reputation":"2","postcount":"18","picture":"","signature":"","banned":false,"status":"offline","lastonline":"1497903803532","groupTitle":null,"icon:text":"G","icon:bgColor":"#9c27b0","lastonlineISO":"2017-06-19T20:23:23.532Z","custom_profile_info":[],"editor":null,"bookmarked":false,"upvoted":false,"downvoted":false,"replies":"users":[],"timestampISO":"","count":0,"selfPost":false,"display_edit_tools":false,"display_delete_tools":false,"display_moderator_tools":false,"display_move_tools":false,"display_post_menu":0},"edited":"1491677629258","pid":"53656","content":"@gta5sman you might need the same exact mods installed on both computers.
