in Ashes of Creation Systems and Mechanics
Hello, this'll be my first post but I didn't want my newness being mistaken for being misinformed, or whose opinion is less important. I just wanted to talk a little about Bartle's Taxonomy and his theory on player types. Bartle created his theory around 1990 and has since been used by developers to tweak their games to accommodate a larger playerbase, address the needs of one particular group whose lacking, or fix issues with there being too much of one type.

Really I just wanted to know, what everyone looks for in an MMO, whether they can associate themselves more with one of these kinds of player types, or which one they think is lacking in MMO's that you'd think Ashes can address.

    This would pretty much categorize me. I like getting around in the world and seeing what is out there. Getting into things like dungeon delves. Gaining cool stuff along the way. I often set out alone but do usually have a group of people that I randomly end up with, or just some regular gamer friends if they end up playing. PVP is not typically my thing, but if done right I do enjoy it as part of the whole.

    1. Achiever
    2. Killer
    3. Explorer 
    4. Socialiser 
    That would be my order of those four.
    I'm a great fan of pvp and like to achieve something with this. Be it a simple skin or that my name will eventually known by other players.
    If the ingame world creates a great immersion I also like to explore it when i'm bored ^^
    I am not much of a social player except when I meet other people who have the same interests as me and/or the same goals. I mostly stick with this group of people then

    As an RPer, I enjoy all aspects of the game but I base it around my carrier as much as I can. such as one person may be a researcher who loves to explore and see the world while one may be a bloodthirsty berserker whose only joy in life is war. This is why I love MMORPGs is gives me the chance to do anything and everything that I want to do.

    This pretty much tells it all for most players when you think about it. How can you play any game like this and have it any other way?  I tend to be on the quiet side in a group but enjoy the comradery and though PvP isn't my first choice it can be quite fun when done right and for a good reason/goal other then ganking.    Even someone who solos often tends to socialize.    I think AoC is looking to have a decent balance in all areas without kicking one or the other to the background.   I might not achieve every goal in a game but I do have fun trying to reach what I do.  :D

    I explore to complete achievements, often cooperating with others, that may have to compete with yet others.
