  • The Bartle test

    Veterans of MUDs might remember the old Bartle test - the one that divided players into achievers, killers, socializers, and explorers. Kind of like a Meyers-Briggs test for geeks. I found the thing still kicking around on the net over here:

    I haven't taken it in several years, so I tried it again and was sort of surprised by the results: I'm an Explorer! ESKA to be exact.

    What are you guys?

    How do you think Akanbar would be classified in terms of whom it caters to? I'm still a total noob, but so far my impression is that its a killers game, but with a more social oriented playerbase. Agree? Disagree?

      Tee hee... a SEAK

      They try to cater to all in the game, from pvp type guilds to merchant-economy guilds. And from my experience with observing the Gods --- They want more roleplay, and the system they've built to encourage it is rarely used. It should be utilized more often though! Player Vs. Player is deep, and Multiple Players vs. Multiple Players is even more deep. But it is not as rewarding as being able to roleplay and earn some points!

        I got EKAS.
        We are both of us merchants, and I'll promise you one thing. We will not laugh until we get the money, and we will not cry until we go bankrupt. And guess what? We are going to laugh.

            I got EKSA. I'm waiting for a Forsaken to get SAKE and be embarrassed.

                EKSA. Woo, Kenan.
                Zycandos and Jaethor's karaoke rendition of 'I Feel Pretty'.

                Jaethor goes solo with 'The Sound of Music'.

                Minstrel Sharallin sings: "The lord of revenants is a withered man, sunken by age and evil. But his blood is sweet, say the young men - and they should know?"
                Jaethor, God of Enlightenment tells you, "((Stop breaking Akanbar.))"

                  I'm ESKA too, Shax. We're the glue!

                  What strikes me about all this is how low the Achiever is represented... but not all that surprising, those are the guys still playing hack'n'slashers trying to get to level 9999. Derris you're the exception, are you approaching lvl 100, or have a ton of gold to show off your achiever bona fides?

                    I haven't noticed that system yet, unless you're referring to emotes... what are some of the commands for it?

                      I'm fairly sure the system joscelin refers to is the Roleplay points - See:
                      Main bb post 416
                      News bb posts 141 and 151.

                        Yup! It's like a string without a carrot dangling in front of you.

                        It's funny I got a SEAK though... Considering that bloody history I had with raiding and challenges back in the day. Now it's just about taking care of Akanbar itself by cultivating and motivating its people. That's what I'm here for nowadays.

                            Makes me proud

                            87% Killer
                            67% Achiever
                            47% Explorer
                            0% Socializer
                            To be the best, one must defeat the best. Not once, but on a consistent basis.
