[INTER-KNOT MEMBERSHIP GIVEAWAY] Giving away four of em

It's July, and that means we will soon™ be able to Umapyoi!

To celebrate this momentous occasion, I'm giving away four eight inter-knot memberships. Post your UID and server region.

I'll be shoving them all into a 'Spin the Wheel' thingy and distributing them in two days.

Contributing to Genshin Impact and the Wider Gacha Research - Honours Survey

Why hello there, fellow travelers,

I usually stick to comment sections rather than being an OP, so forgive me if I sound a little awkward.

I'm an Honours psychology student, and I've been playing gacha games for just over 6 years now. When it came time to pick a thesis topic, Gacha seemed like an interesting choice to explore.

My project looks at how players experience, and to a lesser extent, engage with spending on limited-time banners — specifically how social and behavioural constructs, such as Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), feed into overspending, regret, and that feeling of not being able to stop pulling.

I would really appreciate your help filling it out.

As a thank-you, you can opt in to a prize draw to win one of fourteen in-game currency top-ups (see participant information sheet for more details). You can only nominate one account to enter the prize draw.

----------------------------

To be eligible, you need to be 18 to 35 years old, have played gacha games in the past 6 months, and have spent real money on Genshin (or any gacha title) in that time.

Completion time ranges from 10 to 20 minutes and covers some basic demographic questions, your gacha gaming habits, and your experiences with spending and pulling on limited banners.

No personal information, such as emails, is collected.

I'll be collecting responses over the next few weeks. Ask me anything in the comments, or reach me through the contact details in the participant information sheet. Thanks heaps for your help!

Cheers :)

Even if you don’t meet the criteria for this study, you can still help!

Below are two questions that I think will help not only my project, but other travelers looking to use Genshin Impact or Gacha games as their thesis work. You can answer these questions in the comment section.

  1. What would you like to see from Genshin Impact or wider Gacha game research that is understudied or hasn't been discussed (e.g., probability opacity, long‑term player behaviour, F2P playstyles)?
  2. What do you believe has been disproportionately looked at?
