100,000 $ for World of Warcraft research

Welcome on blog about gold in World of Warcraft. You ever heard about scientific project related to our beloved game World of Warcraft? Well there is person who is really interested in social behaviors of online gamers and that’s why Prof. Bonnie Nardi of the University of California Irvine is working very hard on science project about this issue: Why American players go to greater lengths to mod the popular MMO than do Chinese World of Warcraft players. For this research, Prof. Nardi received 100,000 grant! Well I think I will try to also with some kinda scientific projects related to World of Warcraft.

Some black market, Cheap Warcraft gold – $1,000.00 (I wonder how much gold she bought)
Powerful PC – $3,000.00 (probably better then I’ve got lol)
12 month WoW subscription – $180.00
Burning Crusade Expansion – $29.99
Pre-order Lich King Expansion – $39.99
Professional Power leveling service – $250.00
WoW copy- $19.99
Strategy guide for WoW – $24.99
So she spent: $4,544.96

What about rest of money? Heh 100.000 $ is to much for this kind of researches but I’m only a gamer not some freakin scientist or something ha ha! Prof. Nardi – “We are examining the many reasons for this disparity, including cultural and institutional factors. The vast majority of Chinese players are not ‘gold farmers’. They’re ordinary players like anyone. The media has blown that story out of all proportion. Many people think Chinese play for a job. They play for fun…”
She used word “WE” i wonder about who she is talking about? I’m quesing that she is talking about her son or hosband ;-) of course i’m kinding anyway if she bought one WoW copy, why she is talking about group of gamers? Weird. Anyway I’m waiting for results of her work.
