I thought it was odd (and potentially limiting) that the age ranges the OP chose were from "18" to "23 or over". I tend to wonder if there might be some difference in the final analysis of the data if "23 or over" was, instead, "60 or over".

I'm rather curious, since I started playing UO in the latter part of 1998 and I am 70 now. (I also know there are a lot more of us oldsters out there.)

Don't forget to refer to the Uses-and -Gratifications-Approach (Katz et al.). Helpful might also the Mood-Management-Theory. If you need more references write me PM, I am teaching Communication Psychology at a University and might be able to help you. Some of my students wrote similar theses, I might have material for you. Which University are you from? Who is your Prof?
