MMORPG users can create their own identity that they will use to act through in the virtual world utilizing the avatar creation system. The MMORPG customization process, divided into the creation and transformation stages, provides a sandbox for the identity play by users. In this study, analysis of the users' customization attitudes using the Q methodology especially in the transformation stage was conducted. The users' attitudes were found to be categorized into 4 types: 1) fulfilling attitude, 2) customization immersed attitude, 3) customization challenging attitude, and 4) community oriented attitude. Of particular interest are the immersed customization type, where the attitude is driven by the internal motivation of "self-satisfaction" unlike the fulfillment and community oriented attitudes which are driven by instrumental motivation of the avatar, and the continuous desire towards transformation revealed by the challenging customization attitude. This study provides valuable insight in the design perspective for developers in instilling critical immersion elements to the users while preparing to update the level.

Following rapid development of software and hardware technologies and increasing enhancement in arithmetic capability, there are more and more content that can be accommodated and processed in video games, which is also increasingly complex and fine. Cutscene as a main narrative method have been developed, which have become necessary to express some key plots and important scenarios in games. Good cutscene can strengthen engagement of players with virtual world in games and make players share affection and sorrow with roles in games; while badly-designed cut-scene or overused cut-scene will impair immersion of players and affect players' gaming experience; for this reason, developers should not continue cut-scene design just from opinions of designers nor make players passive receivers, instead, they should reduce as much as possible interruption by cut-scene to players' immersion and grant players with better immersion. After all, only designs depending on demands and preferences of players by having some knowledge of impacts of cut-scene on players' immersion can be accepted by players.

In theory, within ubiquitous learning environment, education is happening all around the student but the student may not even be conscious of the learning process. But, in this study, we consider the ubiquitous learning environment where PMP (Personal Multimedia Player) is being used for delivering the learning-contents. And the purpose of this study is to identify the problematic factors recognized by PMP users in u-learning environment. A need analysis was used to identify and evaluate needs of 74 PMP users as well non-users. Based on the interviews of participants, we give a brief summary results on motivation for using PMP, purchasing and operating costs, category of contents being used, dissatisfying and problematic factors with using PMP in u-learning environment. Therefore, we present six categories of factors preventing the u-learning with PMP from being diffused such as lacks of awareness, loss of confidence, side-effects, lacks of education and support, costs, and lacks of contents. In conclusion, we suggest a set of guidelines which might help remove these the resistance factors.
