Some odd results in Everquest II survey


Studies about who actually plays online PC games are nothing new but a new report on some results from an Everquest II study has some people shaking their heads and saying, "Really?" A BBC story states that out of the 2,400 people who were surveyed, 40 percent of the players in the game were female and that they spent more time playing the game than their male counterparts.

Furthermore, the story states that the University of Delaware study "...revealed an unusually high level of bisexuality among the women who took part in the study - over five times higher than the general population." The story states that people who took the survey received a unique in-game item. However, since the survey is dependent on people being on the honor system, the results have led many web sites, including GamePolitics, to question the honesty of the survey participants.The site states, "EQ II women are five times as likely to be bisexual? What is the statistical likelihood of that occurring? Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that the survey relied on self-reporting data from EQII players."
