teasers

Player types can be differentiated by genre preferences and all sorts of other aspects. This is about the motivation categories achiever, explorer, socializer and killer.

update with the result:

The overwhelming majority of you (71 percent) see yourself as an explorer after Bartle, in second place with 23 percent come the achievers, while socializers and killers fail the five percent hurdle. It was also interesting that not a few in the comments said that this question about these four motivational archetypes passed them by – this also shows that at that time it was still about basic research and also about the context of online games. Still, the Bartle archetypes (though arguably not one-to-one) are still relevant to budding designers today.

Explorer, I turn every stone and want to see through complex mechanics 71%
Achiever, I want to conquer challenges and see numbers grow 23%
Killer, I love competition and the euphoria of victory 3%
Socializer, I especially like the contact with other players 3%

Original text:
The researcher Richard Bartles shaped the best-known gamer typology. His catalog of questions aimed at the classification of players of online role-playing games (still in multi-user dungeon times) according to the strongest motivation. He established the types achiever, explorer, socializer and killer.

What type of player after Bartle would you most likely identify with? If you feel unsure, just make it short yourself the Bartle test.

Due to the upcoming holiday, you have until Tuesday at 09:00 this time to cast your vote – if you change your mind, you can still log in another answer until then. We will then close the survey and present you with the resulting opinion a little later in the form of a news update. Do you have ideas for a Sunday question? Then send a PM to Hagen. You can also post suggestions in the comments, which improves discoverability enormously if the word “suggestion” also appears in the comment.
