 Quote:
Web sites and forums have sprung up around "WoW," where players trade strategies, share stories and debate the finer points of gameplay. Online fantasy worlds may seem too disconnected from real life to have educational value, but Steinkuehler, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Sean Duncan, her colleague there, have found otherwise. Their earlier work analyzed forum postings on the official "WoW" Web site, and found that 85 percent of the conversations showed that players had decent levels of scientific literacy. Players used reasoned arguments, backed up hypotheses and even brought statistics to bear on issues that they faced near the higher levels of the game. Numbers like that "shock even the gamers," although Steinkuehler points out that gamers who post in forums do not represent the average "WoW" player. A majority of players probably just read the forums and don't participate in the more sophisticated online discussions. However, the high level of thinking represented in the forums still confounds expectations that most online chatter represents lowbrow mom jokes and gossip. The question for researchers becomes how to translate observations about online worlds into real-world results that impact the lives of students. "What I'm deeply invested in is reinvigorating their intellectual life," Steinkuehler told LiveScience. "I want kids to understand that games are intellectual and about problem solving, not that different from what scientists are doing in the real world."
TL;DR (did I do that right?)
They say that the WoW forums show a high level of intelligence.... LOL!

WOW players are clever, Same as there are stupid ones too.
Remind your self that there is a lots of clever people out there without funding to use their intelligence in the real world. Or simply predatory skills that are getting used in game instead of real life.
I never played wow, but i have friends who do. And they re clever enough.
Same can be said to eve. only eve has a higher percentage of adults and professionals.

wow forums are the worst mmo game forums.
But i see a strange connection between wow forums and even these forums.
On the internet, most forums have built up a decent level of trollsense. But wow forums, like these forums, fail at detecting trolls. Things that are trolls they take seriously, things that are serious they take as trolls.
Its horribly painful to watch.

If you don't like them, don't watch them. Not agreeing with you does not make them stupid.
EDIT: Oh, and the study was done by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, so fox has nothing to do with it. Look how smart you are.

our forum conversations are probably the most intelligent because eve attracts only certain people and those people have an idea or know a lot about whats happening. basically what i mean to say is that there are a lot more older people who play eve then wow.

No, I'm simply saying that all the major news media outlets are complete shit. They are all biased and spin/select news to a ridiculous degree. I am merely pointing out the hilarity of the fox bashing- you don't see anyone bashing outher outlets because they fall in-line with people's views. It's kind of sad that an article that had NOTHING to do with fox (they were simply reporting it, you could probably find the article elsewhere) somehow turned into a fox discussion.

As bad as these forums have gotten in the last few years the WoW forums will be infinitely worse. If not only because of the difference in median age.

Oh yes, only "Faux" News would cover such a story, MSNC would never do a story titled like: Can 'World of Warcraft' make you smarter? And no national TV netowrk would cover such a story as this. No one would ever see a story titled Can 'World of Warcraft' make you smarter? on the Today Show website. No way would USA Today run this sort of stroy about WoW; Studies: Video games can make better students, surgeons.
Only the crazy people at FOX News would do such a thing.

I completely agree. If you think eve forums are intelligent, especially general discussion and what-not then you are quite delusional.
At one time, many moons ago eve forums was the place to be, now it's just another waste of virtual space infected by egotistical morons with little of substance to say.

They've obviously disregarded the problem solving reply #1 Moar DPS!!!!11!
Fox wants a nation/world of easily led consumers, hardly surprising that they'd try to steer people into the intellectual void that is WoW, it is and has always been their agenda.
