A link to the site for Games for the Web: Ethnography of Massively Multiplayer On-line Games class at Trinity University. The student page includes PDFs of term papers with great titles like “Strangers in strange lands: Virtual worlds and the newbie experience” and “From N00b to L33t: Learning strategies in Everquest II.” I haven’t had a chance to go through everything yet, but it looks really interesting.
