I concur tho...Right, blame me again why don't you?<br /><br />I concur though. Last time I really got into an in-game community was the first time I started playing heavily with you, Phè. Vanguard :-)<br />Since then the lure of a steady, witty, forgiving of my idicities playing-pal has probably played a part in me not finding many new friends in-game.<br /><br />Add to that the catering to either Solo or game-spanning Guilds and such and the fact we seem to be picking US servers a lot. I commented on that not being the smartest move, for me anyway.<br /><br />I think our only hope may be to join servers that have the MUtants in them whenever we're sharing a game :-)<br /><br />P.s. Bartle's presentation kinda says between the lines that we should bring socializing Wendy, back into the MMO's as she's supposed to be the glue that keeps thing together and that we should stop making games for either Dorothy or Alice. Try to find the balance again.Lanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835095269839169484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477169190731480241.post-52831937711222283712009-05-13T15:37:00.000+02:002009-05-13T15:37:00.000+02:00I blaim it all on Lani. I used to go out there and...I blaim it all on Lani. I used to go out there and find some weird bunch of players and joined their guild. But over time my standards have gone up, and nowadays my socializing is mostly happening here on yammob. I am actually missing it. When I returned to Vanguard I had set myself the goal to rekindle the new friends and guild feeling. But I think I am using the wrong game for that. The population is already pretty low, I am playing on a mostly US server, and the majority of the community is doing that endgame thing I don't care for. In a weird way I almost have the feeling that even the era of guilds is a thing of the past. Bartle's three girls are maybe even prove of that. Alice and even Dorothy are loners. And even Wendy does her thing on her own. <br /><br />I think it is time declare I will make a new post that perhaps never will be about socializing and cable TV.Phedrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06563052105703506187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477169190731480241.post-77354678057133332852009-04-29T20:14:00.000+02:002009-04-29T20:14:00.000+02:00Cool that you read all those.

Not everything I 'share' is stuff I agree with the poster on. It'd be neat. It'd be neater if we could tke that one step further and just discuss those topics with ease right here. The old "I'd love to discuss those Blogs, but with my mates, not those anonymice at the Blogs thenselves" argument.<br /><br />The Presentation is just awesome. I got so much from the PDF, and that's just the shorthand, I wish I had a transcript of the whole thing, or got to hear it. Ah, dreams :-)<br /><br />Oh, I fell asleep after work (2 hours of sleep before work tends to do that to me) and now it's time to explore Eriador some more, so linkies will wait another day I'm sure. <br />The PDF can be found here: http://mud.co.uk/richard/IMGDC2009.pdf<br /><br />Be nice to the other Gerbills on the treadmill ;-)Lanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835095269839169484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477169190731480241.post-33147675666040388552009-04-29T18:33:00.000+02:002009-04-29T18:33:00.000+02:00I've read alot of the links you add, uually do :) ...I've read alot of the links you add, uually do :) So I can see what inspired this pretty epic and darn good read, Bartle's presentation was a good read and his simplistic archetypes made alot of sense to me. Theres a hell of a lot I want to remark to about this post but I've just got in from work and Geekzor is spending the evening repeating endgame content in AoC to apppease his 'achiever' self. I'll be back!Geekzorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11313017286168613164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477169190731480241.post-69973816686563497192009-04-29T13:07:00.000+02:002009-04-29T13:07:00.000+02:00By all rights there should be several links in thi...By all rights there should be several links in this post, but as over half of them are "NSFW", according to our Smartfilter anyway, so I'd have to jump through all kinds of hoops to get them included.<br />In other words, wait till after my work ends or go through "Lani's Shared items" for the past two weeks or so :-)Lanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835095269839169484noreply@blogger.com
