ABSTRACT
In order to compete in the 21st century workforce it is necessary for people to gain the required teamwork and leadership skills that are currently being highly sought after. MMORPGs are highly social environments that provide the opportunity to teach these needed skills. This action research project shows how this type of social learning highly motivates players to communicate effectively, work together as a team in order to coordinate and cooperate with one another, and lead their guild members through key quests and missions using the MMORPG, Guild Wars. The findings of this research showed that participants felt communication and teamwork skills were learned using this method. However, the finding showed leadership skills needed to be researched in more depth.
