A Psychological MMORPG/MUD Personality Test

[apt]

http://www.andreasen.org/bartle/ - Click on the Take the Test link, Bottom Left.

Out of 232747 Participants I placed in KEA, 3% of respondants fall into that type.

My answers were split as follows:

Killer 53%
Explorer 53%
Achiever 46%
Socializer 46%

I've never really played any MUD's but I have played a few online RPG's and MMORPG's, So I figured it applied the same way. Late night Post-Christmas eve-champagne-overdosage-Web surfing leads you to these fucked up sites.

Feel free to post your results. And while you're wasting your time reading this thread, visit these sites-

http://www.nickyee.com/hub/home.html

That site is dedicated to exploring the Psychology behind MMORPGs. It has quite some interesting articles from the Phil Inquirer, CNET and The Washington Post; a must read if you have a few minutes to spare and have had your share of MMORPG addiction in the past.

A Neat little Graphical MUD called Wyvern. It's about a 18 MB Download using a new little innovative Java Script coding. I was scrambling around on the internet and found out this game won a 10k International Award as a Beta Client MUD. So I figured it was worth the download. I haven't gotten a "real" chance to play it but it seems really cool. It is the epitome of " Graphics don't make the game" argument. Plus, I'm a fan of a lot of a game that gives you a lot to choose from, and this game gives you that from the get go. With 8 Races each having Subsidiary Races giving you a total of 24 Races to Choose from. Plus you can claim and buy your own houses, and once you reach this glorified class of 'Wizard' you can even send in quests and items into the game and it auto updates the game. Pretty neat, and no it is not Player Worlds, because we all know those suck.

If any of you get a chance to really dig into this game let me know, I don't really have the time for an energy consuming MMORPG these next few days, so drop a line. Gracias , ciao.

I used to play this. I was a dwarven Axeman called "Decapitator". I haven't played in months but I think i'm still on the top 10 list for Dwarfs and probably top 100 overall. I stopped playing for good after they fucked up the bags of holding (you can't hold nearly as much stuff as before).

sounds... familiar.

no its nothing like subspace. in fact its practically the opposite. to get completely accurate results on that quiz i think you really have to have played a game like it... and contiunuum is not like it. there's three types of a person you can be. pk, neutral, and anti pk. its your decision and its not official at all so you can change it whenever you want. pkers kill other players for fun or profit, and when you get killed, it is a huge setback, you lose a lot of money and shit. fighting is not based on raw skill like it is in subspace. a lot of it is based on who has the bigger (more expensive) ship.. but skill is involved.

back in the old days of subspace, the more expensive ship was actually your strongest foe. You kill more, you get more points. With those points you can buy things like thor's and such. I even remember such a setting in which the server saves the settings your ships were with so when you relog back in, you start off with what you had before you left; that's if you didn't die or something. If only I can remember which zones had this.
