Help needed with customization survey

[malcolmsprye]

Hi All,
We are conducting a survey about customization and its effect on player motivation and enjoyment. This survey is conducted entirely for academic research purposes, and it is not affiliated with Turbine. If you would like to fill out the survey please click the link provided below. Also, there is more information and a consent form that you can read before you start to fill out the survey.

Thanks very much for your time,
Sonam Adinolf + Selen Turkay

p.s. I read the forum rules, and I'm almost 100% sure this follows them, since we're not selling anything and we don't work for any corporation. If you have any comments, feel free to post them here. We'll be checking back here regularly for a while.

I started to complete the survey but I hit all the questions about "main character" and stopped. I don't have a "main" and I think many DDO players are the same if they haved been here very long. Most of us have lots of chars we play on a regular basis, that "main" concept really doesn't apply here to anyone but new players.

Thanks for pointing that out, but we did say in parentheses "or the character you play the most". If its that close... just pick one.

Ok, went back...noticed no FvS on the list, several non DDO classes, levels above 20. You've obviously copied this from another game but it still needs some work if you expect any useful data in terms of class/levels in DDO.

Whoah. Indeed we are running both DDO and Lotro at the moment. I must have messed up when I was copy pasting and copied over the correct copies of the question. Or maybe I got confused. I play or have played WoW, CoX, Lotro, DDO, and Eve and Urban Dead... Suffice to say it sometimes gets confusing.

We have corrected the questions.

Thanks alot for the quick feedback.

Made one more pass, gave up.

You still have classes that don't belong.

Questions are redundant (asking the EXACT same quesiton the EXACT same way 3 times is annoying and not good survey structure) and vague (friend, friend you have met in game, friend you met previously are all options in one question, how does option 1 not automatically include both 2 & 3?)

You need to look at this survey and restart it. There is no way a University prof will accept this survey as valid/meaningful given the poor structure.

Very few players with Mains in ddo.

Level ranges are wrong, levels here go from 1-20, not 1-60
