I was thinking of putting this up on the general forum to be available to ALL members to answer.
It has a serious purpose – and there are some “dummy†questions in there, but the hope is, given a sufficient number of replies, that we get a good idea of what the “general player†is looking for in the game.
I expect some “a game that doesn’t have bugs†replies, but they will have missed the point of the question so can be discounted.
I would like you guys to answer it here first – but expect a biased result given the nature of your respective interests in the first place.
But <b>if</b> we do agree to do it we could compare “our†results with those of the “general gamerâ€.
<b><u>If you DON’T think it’s a good idea – just say so.</u></b>
POST:
I would like some help with a survey I am conducting, so if you could take a few minutes to answer this I would be very grateful.
There are many different reasons for playing the various games on this forum, and as many payer types.
What type are you – please select <b>THREE</b> in descending order of importance and post your reply here.
(If you are a quest player first, then like being part of a community, then like pirate games:
your answer should be: Achiever – Joiner – Pirate)
There are NO WRONG answers and the names I have given each group are just for fun.
If I get a sufficient number of answers I will post the results here in a few days.
Thanks – so here are the types:
The "Achiever" - plays quests and must get to the end.
The "Blaster" - bigger more powerful ships - and plenty of enemies.
The “Battler†– likes sea battles – lots of them.
The “Caribbean†– likes Pirates of the Caribbean.
The “Fighter†– likes hack ‘em and wack’em games.
The “Gamer†– likes computer games of any sort.
The “Hacker†– likes to fix or change how things work.
The "Historian" - period ships - period enemies - period firepower.
The “Joiner†– likes to be part of a gaming community.
The “Models Modder†– likes to add his/her own stuff.
The "Money man" - wants to get as much wealth as possible, as fast as possible.
The “One gamer†– likes one game and sticks with it.
The “Pirate†– likes pirate games.
The “Sailor†– likes sailing games.
The “Story Modder†– likes writing stories for the game.
The “Power Player†– wants the highest rank and as big a fleet as possible.
“None of the above†– just write in what type of player you are.

" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> I enjoy figuring out how to get things done in a game, then sharing that knowledge with other players. If a game is modable, I'll eventually get around to modding it. If it's not modable, I often analyze the file structures and play with them, often converting maps from one wargame game to another or writing map editors for the games.
