Abstract
Although interest in the metaverse increases due to the pandemic, the understanding of the metaverse interest factor, which is an essential element for the sustainability of any metaverse platform, is lacking. This study aims to reveal the interest factors of metaverse services by analyzing user community discourse. We collected user community discourses from and applied LDA to extract topics. Further, we categorize the factors into growth and verifiable indicators, various levels of interaction, self-expression and freedom, and connection with the real world. The content planning direction of the game-based metaverse of utilization was derived. This study is meaningful in that it analyzes the interest factors of the metaverse based on the empirical evidence of user discourse data.
