I'm a PhD student from China and I'm doing a research on Multiple online Role-playing games. Please be so kind to give me some suggestions about what books and articles i should read if you are familiar with this field.
I hope this book will help you: https://www.amazon.com/Scientific-Systemic-Management-Fundamental-Educational/dp/1533231885
Hi! There is a lot of literature on MMORPGs, so it depends on the specific aspects you want to focus on. I am doing my PhD on MMORPGs too, so I can provide you some useful reading suggestions.
Tell me more about the specific topic of your research and I will be glad to help.
My game research methods collected edition might have something useful (free download available http://repository.cmu.edu/etcpress/32/), e.g., Ashley Brown's chapter.
Digra digital library (www.digra.org/dl) has quite a few pieces about MMORPGs.
I wrote an article focusing on emergent gameplay in the MMO The Lord of the Rings Online which has been published at Press Start journal: http://press-start.gla.ac.uk/index.php/press-start/search/authors/view?firstName=Toh&middleName=&lastName=Weimin&affiliation=National%20University%20of%20Singapore&country=SG
I guess you meant Multiplayer Massive Online Role-Play Games (MMORPG). Relevant books really depend on your research focus: is it game design methods, game development, user experience, etc.?
This handbook has a lot of material relevant to your topic. Each chapter is a synthesis of current debates on different aspects of RPG studies.
