General Discussion / What questions to ask?
« on: August 29, 2002, 07:57:12 am »
Ok, I?m going to ask the invitation to play in a different way. Because I didn?t get the information I wanted.
But thank you to all who replied. Many of the comments where insightful and it is perhaps one of the better threads, at least from my point of view :-).
Here is a new question along the same lines.
If we had 4 servers, all exactly the same, except that each covered different demographics of playing styles. And we where using a questionnaire to fit the different playing styles together.
The 4 play styles would be.
Power Gamer , for those who being the best and having the best equipment is the most important. Quote: ? I want the flaming cat of 9 tails, I don?t care that it is pink, it is the strongest weapon for my character right now ?
Casual Gamer , for those who having a good time in small doses is the most important, and when the game becomes a chore, it is time for a break. Quote: ?the quest takes 10 continuous hours minimum, and it gives me a sword that is better then mine and a court rank, that?s not worth it, I?ll do without it .?
Role-Player , for who their standing with other characters and being someone they are not is the most important. Quote: ?Me not care dat Club be not good like hammer, me like sound club make when me bash wid it ?
Whiny-spoiler Gamer , who would rather be given free stuff then earn it and is annoyingly loud about it. Quote: ?hay man got some tira you can Spare?...what 3 lousy tria, you have the golden cloak of the avenger and the sword of the avenger?you can solo a dark knight and they drop at least 300 tria?I?m just starting I don?t have any equipment you should help me out with more then 3 lousy tria ?
I think we can all identify to differing degrees with each, we have all probably been each to one degree or another dependant on the day.
My question is what questions can filter each type into the correct slot.
I was thinking of having something like 40 plus questions with 4 multiple choice answers.
Quality of play is important to us, we are toying with options, one of the contributing factors in play quality is to play with like minded players?not that you agree with all of them, or even like all of them, but that you all have similar goals for your playing experience.
thanks alot everyone.
