The Gamer Psychology

#1 Post by Tatiana » Wed Nov 29, 2006 6:56 am

I hope the subject was catchy enough to make you all read ;)

http://www.guildcafe.com/zQuest.php - A test to see what we all enjoy in our mudding experience.

My results:

Based on your answers, you are SEKA.
Breakdown: Achiever 6.67%, Explorer 73.33%, Killer 40.00%, Socializer 80.00%

SEKA players are usually very interested in the the 'total experience' of a virtual world--meeting other people and finding the unique places within it. They don't care much for PVP or levelling, but meeting up with online friends to see new parts of the world is usually fun and exciting.

a little surprising :P

I'm sure we already had a discussion related to doing the Bartle test, but what the heck, I did it again:

Based on your answers, you are KSEA.

Breakdown: Achiever 6.67%, Explorer 40.00%, Killer 86.67%, Socializer 66.67%

KSEA players often seek out PVP in a game, but they are looking to socialize with and form alliances with other players who are interested in doing the same. They often seek out guilds or clans that organize formal PVP events, or work on group strategies and tactics.

Based on your answers, you are ESKA.
Breakdown: Achiever 33.33%, Explorer 86.67%, Killer 40.00%, Socializer 40.00%

ESKA players often see the game world as a great stage, full of things to see and people to meet. They love teaming up with people to get to the hard-to-see places, and they relish unique experiences.

Which is pretty funny, since nearly every question related to teaming or going it alone, I picked going it alone. Personally, I'd rate myself as EAKS.

KAES players tends to enjoy the PVP aspect most of all, but also likes to pit themself against all the challenges of the PVE environment as well--although the latter is often a means to an end. This type of player will often enjoy PVP that focuses on their skill as an individual contributor (duels, and so forth) more than team-based PVP.

EDIT: I closed the damn window so I didn't get the description. Anyway, I am some sort of SKAE or SKEA.

I obviously don't care whether I achieve anything or found out something new.. and I like killing as well as socializing (goes hand-in-hand doesn't it?).

KEAS players are often individuals who like to feel immersed in a virtual worlds and see themselves as a great villain or crusader within that world. They seek out challenges against other players, but they are going to find all the areas of that world. They'll often know about the best hiding places and ambush points.

I would like to point out that I`m much more social then Jezz, for example ... So dont be afraid, come to Kaspars and he`ll preach to you

Based on your answers, you are ASKE.

Breakdown: Achiever 73.33%, Explorer 33.33%, Killer 40.00%, Socializer 53.33%

ASKE players like to pit themselves against the grand-challenges of a virtual world. They see grouping and guilds/clans not only as an enjoyable aspect of the social environment, but also as a way to achieve goals that cannot be achieved as an individual.

Based on your answers you are ...

EKAS

EKAS players might be descibed as living by slogan: see the world, meet interesting people...and kill them. Immersion within the world is important to these players, because they love finding new things to explore--but they also enjoy the thrill of the hunt and finding other players within the world to fight.

Breakdown: Achiever 46.67%, Explorer 66.67%, Killer 53.33%, Socializer 33.33%

Oops!! It seems the test works fine :D and i'm more socializer than Rex! Izydor is so cute...
