    BBC Wants To Film Hardcore MMORPG Players

    Really into MMORPGs? Want to appear on British television? (And who doesn't?) The BBC is seeking addicts gamers addicts who are really into MMOs. The film will be broadcasted in the UK early next year. Online game addiction, while very real, does seem sooo 2005. I mean, even 1Up's Luke isn't playing WoW anymore. (It would've been nice if he hadn't play it while he worked here, but whatever...) Here's the info from the BBC:

    Is your Avatar more like 'you' than you are?

    Are you making a lot of virtual money? And turning it into 'real' money?

    Are you a typical online gamer, or do you break the geek-mould?

    We're particularly interested in hearing from you if:

    •You're passionate about your Avatar - whether it's just like you, or contrasts dramatically with your life offline

    •You make real money through your dealings in a game

    •You are worried about addiction — either for yourself, a friend, or a relative

    •You are organising a protest or event in a game

    •You regularly meet with other gamers in the outside world

    If you're interested, please get in touch by emailing virtualworlds [at] bbc.co.uk. We'll follow up with a phone call.

    Any of you out in Kotakuland fit the bill?
