Why do you play?

The Daily Grind: Why do you play?

It's a good question too, because we all have different reasons for why we play. Some of us love to explore the world, some of us love to talk and party with others, some of us want to accomplish the goals the game sets forth for us, and still others of us want to kill stuff -- lots and lots of stuff. These are traditionally known as the Bartle psychological gamer types, taken from gamer/developer/researcher Richard Bartle's paper on player culture.

I like the magical feeling of exploring and progressing through the unknown with others, the journey is the thing. It also gets my creative juices flowing!

When I first start a game, it's all about the exploring. I like getting pulled into the game's world, reading the quests to learn the lore and how things are within the game. However, when I'm nearing the max level, the game takes on a new objective for me. I like to test my skills against others. I like to PvP a lot. Warhammer was unique in the fact that I got to PvP from level 1 all the way to 40.
