I guess that's about right... maybe. I don't think i'm much of a killer, but I'm not much of an explorer either, and i'm not a huge socializer, and acheiver?? well not really. So i guess it's right. Of course I want to be better than the other people on the server, but I could give a shit less about winning a stupid duel. I don't like mindless ganking, I like there to be a reason behind it, like the SA vs CA war back in the day in EVE. Pvp for rank like in WoW is just dumb.
I think I might be more of an achiever, but the questions were like "would you liike to be first to find a piece of equipment or the first to do this, and I'm like no I don't need to be first. I'd just like to form a guild and set realistic goals and acheive them. Like I was trying to get us to 10 man onyxia in wow (pre BC, we only had 12-14 lvl 60's), but it was pulling teeth to get everyone attuned, so I guess I failed. So I think I'm more of an acheiver, the questions were just stupid lame and focuses on acheiver via playing 20 hours a day, then acheiving based on more sandboxy goals.

ESAK players often see the game world as a great stage, full of things to see and people to meet. They love teaming up with people to get to the hard-to-see places, and they relish unique experiences.
, but achievers..if your going to play just for collecting items and leveling, points, etc, why pay per month? Whats the fun in that if you never use them to challange other players?
Because in most cases (in EverQuest and WoW) raids are more challenging and more organized than PvP. Not everyone thinks like you do. It is still possible to challenge yourself through raids and when you do a boss for the first time he/she usually outsmarts you and kills all 40 of your guild. Contrary to belief A.I. can be programmed to be better than players. If you don't believe me then go beat a computer at grandmaster level in Chess.
Also, why be so selfish? It's cool when you get great items but (to me) it's also cool when my guildmate and friend get epic loot at raids. It's fun to grow strong together IMO.

Goosh, 6,67% killer. I must be the nicest guy around here... I guess this shows why I don't like the mmorpg's of today. Not interested in killing and not interested in getting good items. I play mmorpg's to meet ppl from all over the planet, to escapre the boring rl and have some fun. And I really like to organize and help ppl out with stuff. Alas, I haven't played a decent game since nge destroyed swg in nov -05...

-thats right im playing mmorpgs just to experience something new
killers should rather play fps-games like ut where it take skill to kill and not just some uber equip and lvl(exceptions exist)
thats atleast what i do when i want some pvp :]
There are no RP politicians to kill in a FPS. No lasting impact on the community. Your faction or guild can't gain any power or influence. The FPS just lacks a few dementions that makes it fun.
I find it interesting that over the years, my bartle type has remained essentially the same even though the percentages have changed.
Based on your answers, you are EAKS.

EAKS players often live by the phrase 'The journey is often more enjoyable than the destination.' They are motivated by meeting the challenges of the world, but they are usually in no rush--because seeing the creatures and places of the world is even more fun.
This test has been around for awhile, I'm a KSEA personally. I think anyone that gets A??? should leave MMOs and never come back, cause you are likely the person who must be first, must be the best, min/max everything and scream nerf when your class isn't fotm and uber, arrogant bastards who ruin the game for everyone else.
Breakdown: Achiever 33.33%, Explorer 46.67%, Killer 66.67%, Socializer 53.33% KSEA players often seek out PVP in a game, but they are looking to socialize with and form alliances with other players who are interested in doing the same. They often seek out guilds or clans that organize formal PVP events, or work on group strategies and tactics.
Breakdown: Achiever 40.00%, Explorer 33.33%, Killer 40.00%, Socializer 86.67%
SAKE players enjoy socializing more than anything else, but they also like to achieve the goals within the game. Often, the increase in social status that comes with defeating a powerful foe or finding a unique treasure is more important than the achievement itself. They also enjoy being part of a team that tries to accomplish great deeds, often finding as much satisfaction in the success of the group as with oneself.
Breakdown: Achiever 46.67%, Explorer 26.67%, Killer 60.00%, Socializer 66.67% SKAE players enjoy teamwork and cooperation, but feel that the main challenges of a virtual world come from the other players rather than the environment. They enjoy forming groups and alliances that will pit themselves against other players--and they gain the most satisfaction when they defeat organized groups of other players. When they aren't playing against other players, they enjoy all of the social aspects of the game.
Breakdown: Achiever 66.67%, Explorer 53.33%, Killer 33.33%, Socializer 46.67%
AESK players are interested in the player-versus-environment aspect of the game more than anything else. They are often soloists who want to achieve and see what the world has to offer. Often, they find groups cumbersome and PVP to be more an annoyance than a feature.

My results have changed over time.
I don't think I necessarily agree with my results, but putting achievement vs. pvp, I'll have to answer on the achievement side, even if I really want to do the other thing too, which sort of skewed the results against "Killer".... But it was fun to do again, anyway.
I used to be more the SEAK type. Maybe I'm getting mean in my old age.

Thanks for the link,
Sorry to be no fun.
If you did a quest and had the option of the two as a reward, which would you chose? You would chose one. You wouldn't just leave it there.
Well, seeing as even Richard Bartle whom the test is named after said that it is too basic I think baff is right on the money, although I still thought it was slightly fun, but I actually like tests.
EKSA players might be descibed as living by slogan: see the world, meet interesting people...and kill them. Immersion within the world is important to these players, because they love finding new things to explore--but they also enjoy the thrill of the hunt and finding other players within the world to fight.
I like the "Online Gamer Playstyle Survey" better, sign up to try it out. I am a:
Score result: Organizer-Supporter.
This combination is also referred to as the Impresario playstyle. You provide a foundation for other players to enjoy the game. You tend to help other people achieve their goals before you do things for yourself, hoping to reap later rewards in the form of loyalty and dedication to growing a guild or clan.
Interesting find. Pretty accurate results in my case as well:
Breakdown: Achiever 60.00%, Explorer 33.33%, Killer 60.00%, Socializer 46.67%
AKSE players like to be the best-of-the-best at everything the game has to offer. They like to be high on the ladders of whatever metrics the game uses, including PVP. They like the best gear, the most power, and they love being the 'first' at something. Their prowess in PVP is generally supported by a large degree of understanding and posession of the best equipment and skills.
