    I do find this interesting, but not suprising.
    Very "average", "middle of the road" community in general. Or maybe "well ballanced" is a better term.

    Thx for the info.;)

    Well I'd caveat this with having such a small sample size. It's only about 65 players out of nearly 25k backers. It's probably more accurate to say it's the Average Forum Player. Need to keep bumping this thread to get more data!

    And who knows, maybe The Oracle will ask us these questions during character 'creation' and that will determine our selective multiplayer logic. :)

    The high socializer number is probably due to backer rewards tied to houses and general RP content of the boards.

    Contrast with say the beta for GW2, which was all about combat and balence (achiever/killer).

    If you were a true sociopathic evildoer you'd be playing the nice guy to put your future victoms at ease, friend.

    No sweat, Robby. I don't think anyone on these forums had any question about your score. :)

    Achiever

    Achiever 80%
    Explorer 47%
    Killer 40%
    Socializer 33%

    "No goal unfinished!"

    Description:
    Best, first and most are the favorite adjectives of the Achiever. They love comparison not only against others, but also with themselves. They enjoy setting goals, surpassing previous performances and hitting new milestones. They tend to have lots of high scores, badges, trophies and other concrete evidence of their successful endeavors--and they love it if someone notices these. However many enjoy the quiet satisfaction of knowing they simply did better than most.
    Secondary influences
    • Achiever Killers like to be the best-of-the-best at everything the game has to offer including PvP. They often mock Killer tactics such as surprise and stealth as "ganking" because they prefer a more controlled arena where fighting skills can be compared in a straight forward manner. Achievers often look to 1v1 duels for proof of their superior play and are frustrated by "rock paper scissor" game mechanics because of this. Their prowess in PVP is generally supported by a large degree of understanding and possession of the best equipment and skills.
    • Achiever Explorers are interested in the PvE aspect of a game more than anything else. The AE thrives as a solo adventurer, counting coup with each new destination and discovery, poking into every corner of a map and toying with each nuance of a game mechanic. AEs prefer not to be hampered by a group and usually find PvP to be more an annoyance than a feature.
    • Achiever Socializers appreciate groups, clans or guilds for than just pure social fun. An AS relishes the camaraderie of cooperation within a top flight team, savoring the renown gained from successfully pitting themselves against the grand-challenges of a virtual world and attaining goals that cannot be reached as an individual.

    That's right, all social, no killing. Then again, I'm the kind of person who would rather play a bookkeeper than a backstabber, so this doesn't surprise me at all.

    Leom Tanith quietly walks down the hall moving between you and the half open closet door. With his outstretched hand ushers you into his study. You hardly notice that the closet door is now firmly closed. He offers you a cup of tea and responds to your outlandish comment. "You might very well think that friend, but I couldn't possibly comment." Talk dies down and all you hear is the audible heartbeat in your chest and wood crackling in the hearth. While trying to think of a way out you take a sip. The bitter tea makes your mouth dry. You realize that you've been staring at your hands for quite some time. As you look up at the smiling mister Tanith your vision blurs and your world shifts into darkness.
