Hi All and liling,

I'm happy to talk with you about WoW corpus creation off list. Just email me back.

A few things to note:
- Bots are disallowed, and if you use one you can be banned from WoW.
- Richer WoW chat is a matter of having toons (avatars) at all experience levels who can travel to multiple zones/cities and engage in multiple types of activities (and thus communicate a variety of chat channels). And if you can get chat from multiple servers and both factions, great.
- Some IRB committees may feel uncomfortable with this because you do have to have a userid/password to get into WoW. So you will need to ensure you are taking extra precautions to protect identities. I can tell you more about what I put in my IRB which was exempted.
- I'm happy to send you my dissertation which includes details on how the corpus was collected. My corpus included non-WoW-chat texts, so you can just ignore all the parts that don't pertain to WoW chat collection.

Thanks,
Laura Christopherson

Dear all,

Does anyone know of any compilation of World of Warcraft (WoW) chat corpus?

Any suggestions/advice on how to collect a WoW chat corpus?

Best Regards,
liling
