Achiever, Socializer, Killer or Explorer?

Tarinth · 20th September 2007, 08:14 AM

What's your gamer personality type?

The most popular type for Ultima Online is KASE (Killer-Achiever). This is quite a contrast from WoW+LOTRO which are consistently Explorer-Socializer. Almost polar opposites!

Take the quiz here: http://www.guildcafe.com/bartle.php

With new people coming in for the expansion it would be great to update the statistics on UO to see if personality types have changed, so please save your results at the end of the quiz.

Here's my own results...Share yours here!

Achiever 73.33%, Explorer 33.33%, Killer 66.67%, Socializer 26.67%

AKES players like to be the best-of-the-best at everything the game has to offer. They like to be high on the ladders of whatever metrics the game uses, including PVP. They like the best gear, the most power, and they love being the 'first' at something. Their prowess in PVP is generally supported by a large degree of understanding and posession of the best equipment and skills.

Your type is: ESA. 10% of respondents so far fall into that type.

Your answers were split as follows:
Explorer 86%
Socializer 60%
Achiever 53%
Killer 0%

Edit - Although that was when I last took the Bartle test back in 2005.... so out of curiosity I went and took it again, apparently now :

ESAK

ESAK 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.

Breakdown: Achiever 40.00%, Explorer 93.33%, Killer 6.67%, Socializer 60.00%

Since I left WoW because I really didn't like it much, whereas I've played UO pretty consistently with maybe a one year break in the last nine years, I'm clearly playing the wrong game.

I'm Achiever 60.00%, Explorer 93.33%, Killer 6.67%, Socializer 40.00%.

EASK? More like WOOS.

Achiever 60%, Explorer 66.67%, Killer 33.33%, Socializer 40%. I am EASK:

EASK players often live by the phrase 'The journey is often more enjoyable than the destination.' They are motivated by meeting the challenges of the world, but they are usually in no rush--because seeing the creatures and places of the world is even more fun.

YEAH. I'm with you on that. Fantasy and RL.

SKEA players enjoy teamwork and cooperation, but feel that the main challenges of a virtual world come from the other players rather than the environment. They enjoy forming groups and alliances that will pit themselves against other players--and they gain the most satisfaction when they defeat organized groups of other players. When they aren't playing against other players, they enjoy all of the social aspects of the game.

Breakdown: Achiever 26.67%, Explorer 53.33%, Killer 60.00%, Socializer 60.00%

Very Interesting...
The game that has the highest proportion of people like you (SKEA) is Halo 2. You chose Ultima Online which which is not amongst the top 10 choices for your type. Perhaps you're a unique snowflake, or maybe we just don't know enough people like you.

Discover More!
Fact: 22.2% of the guild named We Quit Our Day Jobs scored the same as you. Where does your guild fit in?

You hear that? I'm a unique snowflake.

I've never even played Halo 2. Played Halo 1 though. I don't think I would fit in with that guild it recommended.

KAES

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.

It also said that: The game that has the highest proportion of people like you (ESAK) is Entropia Universe. You chose Ultima Online which which is not amongst the top 10 choices for your type. Perhaps you're a unique snowflake, or maybe we just don't know enough people like you.
Never heard of this game before.
