A student up at the Queensland University of Technology is doing a thesis on "A qualitative study of Massively-Multiplayer Online Game based social relationships".
I know a lecturer up there, so I'll be participating and they are also looking for others.
More details: "The purpose of this project is to examine the social relationships that players of Massively-Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) have with each other. The research team requests your assistance because as a player of the successful MMOG “World of Warcraft” you can provide us with your experiences of these relationships."
There's a questionnaire and a 45-60 minute interview (can be done via phone – hey, should really be via vent, eh?!) and I believe there's a token of appreciate in return (something about a Frost Emblem or Gift Card, can't remember which).
If you're interested, see the details in the attachment and contact the guy (or ping me).

The guy is still looking for more current players of WoW, so drop him a line if you'd like to influence the way the world things about online games!
