This case study shows how UX research can drive real product change. Through a 7-month longitudinal study combining qualitative and quantitative methods, we designed a participation structure that enabled users to generate experience-based feedback. During the rollout of an AI feature, this approach led to actionable insights, improved personalization, and positive user responses. Close collaboration with a global team ensured insights were quickly translated into decisions.

This AION2 community analysis shows that live streams act as key moments for engagement. After each stream, participation density rises by ~25%, with existing users posting more actively. Discussions shift toward class balance, patches, and gameplay strategy, indicating that live streams trigger deeper, more focused conversations rather than simple information consumption.

Korean travelers prepare for international trips by dividing decisions across multiple travel apps rather than relying on a single service. Flights, accommodation, activities, connectivity, and insurance are handled separately based on role and risk. Price comparison is active, but final decisions prioritize trust, reviews, and reliability. Travel planning is treated as a process of managing decisions, not optimizing everything equally.

This analysis examines why Korean gamers choose and continue playing games using a motivational structure approach based on open-ended responses from 285 players. Eight motivation categories were identified through text analysis. Overall, social connection and progression drive play, while age-based differences reveal a shift from relationship-focused to growth- and immersion-driven motivations.
