Foray into WARHAMMER....

I have decided to play the game WARHAMMER as my research project, and it is much more complex than I had expected. It took me two hours just to finally figure how to actually launch the game interface, although that was much more due to mylack of experience than anything else. I have realized that I need to set aside some serious time to dedicate to playing this game in order to truly understand the definitions and ranks, and most importantly, the social code that exists within the circle of the game's players.

It is my intention, once I understand the game a bit more, to spend equal amounts of time playing the game at various times of the day to hopefully understand who is playing when and why and how often. It would seem if one could find a pattern to the gameplaying, one might find what many of these players feel is missing from their lives that these games fulfil.
