Welcome to the real world
I love Julian’s Backwards Virtual Worlds article. It reminds me of other comparison exercises like the old What would it be like if life were a video game? Would the world slow down when too many moving objects were in viewing distance?
*ahem*
Following Julian’s formula of Reality compared to Virtual:
-
In reality: Mounts, vehicles and air flight add significant superiority in combat situations.
In virtual worlds: Mounts, vehicles and air flight apply combat reductions or remove combat ability altogether.
If you’ve got one of your own, I recommend adding it to Julian’s list.
I am SEAK
You are SEAK.
Breakdown: Achiever 40.00%, Explorer 60.00%, Killer 20.00%, Socializer 80.00%
SEAK players are usually very interested in the the 'total experience' of a virtual world--meeting other people and finding the unique places within it. They don't care much for PVP or levelling, but meeting up with online friends to see new parts of the world is usually fun and exciting.
Take the MMORPG Bartle Test yourself and copy/paste your results into the comments of this article. =)
The questionnaire is based on a design by Richard Bartle, famous for also creating the world’s first MUD in 1978.
