What Bartle says:

♦ Achievers regard points-gathering and rising in levels as their main goal, and all is ultimately subserviant to this. Exploration is necessary only to find new sources of treasure, or improved ways of wringing points from it. Socialising is a relaxing method of discovering what other players know about the business of accumulating points, that their knowledge can be applied to the task of gaining riches. Killing is only necessary to eliminate rivals or people who get in the way, or to gain vast amounts of points (if points are awarded for killing other players).

What Bartle says:

♠ Explorers delight in having the game expose its internal machinations to them. They try progressively esoteric actions in wild, out-of-the-way places, looking for interesting features (ie. bugs) and figuring out how things work. Scoring points may be necessary to enter some next phase of exploration, but it's tedious, and anyone with half a brain can do it. Killing is quicker, and might be a constructive exercise in its own right, but it causes too much hassle in the long run if the deceased return to seek retribution. Socialising can be informative as a source of new ideas to try out, but most of what people say is irrelevant or old hat. The real fun comes only from discovery, and making the most complete set of maps in existence.

What Bartle says:

♣ Killers get their kicks from imposing themselves on others. This may be "nice", ie. busybody do-gooding, but few people practice such an approach because the rewards (a warm, cosy inner glow, apparently) aren't very substantial. Much more commonly, people attack other players with a view to killing off their personae (hence the name for this style of play). The more massive the distress caused, the greater the killer's joy at having caused it. Normal points-scoring is usually required so as to become powerful enough to begin causing havoc in earnest, and exploration of a kind is necessary to discover new and ingenious ways to kill people. Even socialising is sometimes worthwhile beyond taunting a recent victim, for example in finding out someone's playing habits, or discussing tactics with fellow killers. They're all just means to an end, though; only in the knowledge that a real person, somewhere, is very upset by what you've just done, yet can themselves do nothing about it, is there any true adrenalin-shooting, juicy fun.

I'd say this is *somewhat* accurate, as I enjoy and play primarily for PVP. However I'm not a ganker or griefer who gets kicks from PKing people for no reason, which is kind of what it makes it sound like.

My motivation is to play Ashes. Beyond that there is nothing but possibility.

I definitely feel more sheepish to post this as I feel more of a target for you Killers out there !! I'm clearly more a lover than a fighter!!

I'm definitely not surprised by this as I have always been a lore junky, have opted more for the solo PvE content of the game, and attempted profits of the in-game economy. I also really enjoy the crafting side of any game.

I'm also not surprised that the majority (so far) of us AoC Community rank highest on the explorer side of things as I think the open-world features of the game make for a really enjoyable experience to journey throughout the world.

Sounds about right. Though 47% killer seems to be too much for me. Either the test is flawed or my evil self is trying to get control. (Probably both.)
