Study the Ethnography of On-Line Role-Playing Games

Bi-zarre. The prof's even aiming for some immersive studies by requiring you to actually sign up for one of these things.

quote:
In lieu of a textbook, you are expected to purchase a copy of the Everquest Trilogy software (approximately $20 retail). You must also commit to a three-month subscription at the rate of $12.95 per month. Since the first month is free, the total expenditure for computer supplies is approximately $46.

A significant amount of class time will be spent in the virtual world, but you are also expected to conduct on-line research outside of class. In order to install the software on your home system, it must meet the basic requirements listed below. Feel free to contact the instructor ([email protected]) if you have questions about how to diagnose your home computer’s capabilities.

That IS really weird, but there is some area of legitimate study when it comes to the online identity thing...
