This paper discusses social exclusion by analyzing the avatar creation interface of the
massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG) Lineage II. We use a previously
developed syntagmatic-paradigmatic structure analysis for analyzing MMORPG interfaces
and extend that method to include textual analysis of support documentation. This study
concludes that virtual world designers must be more critical in their choices for representing
sex and race.
