You forgot "the noob"


And me, who only plays single player games

 

[HuevoPodrido]

Where is I, the filthy casual?

What about me, the guy who wants to find the quickest way to end game setups and loot, but is too lazy and unmotivated to grind for it, and isn't invested enough to become a trade expert. So you end up just making another new profile/account hoping the new character type, class, roll, etc... is better than your current one and easier to advance.

I'm the kind of guy that install a MMO and uninstall it in less than 30 min xD

 

[suryaiyer13]

Eh where's the free player guy who never shelled out any real money?

 

[gamma2015]

Being a F2P/newbie is just a in-between state until you become something else
jokes aside tho, these are clearly not the "only" 4 types of players so it can be expanded on and is made just for laughts.
So we could get some other types in future comics.

if you want your list of 4 types to be all inclusive you need to keep them much more generic.
The PvP chad is fine and so is the overachiever, but the other two are too specific.

The comic´s 4 types could actually be very screwed up version of Bartle 4 player archetype tho.
You just got to squint really hard, especially on the fake girl one xD

The PvP chad is clearly the "killer archetype", tho a killer archetype according to Bartle enjoys competition, wich can also includes PvE combat and not just PvP.
The over-achiever is the "achiever archetype".... it's pretty much a full match and it explains itself, just exaggerated for the sake of laughs just like the PvP chad.
The merchant can fall under the "Socializers archetype" unless they are doing it mainly as a means to an end, witch is why its abit too spesific... but can fit with some work.
( The social archetype includes people who finds enjoyment in playing games by interacting with other people/characters and less so for its objectives witch is what the achiever archetype does. )
That only leaves the fake girl to fit into the "Explorer archetype" that is all about enjoying the world itself by find cool place, learn the lore etc etc.
So i gusse the fake girl is "exploring" other players's underpants and/or pockets looking for "treasure" right now in this comic.
( who am i to say this is not a Full Dive VR MMORPG like sword art online / Overlord / any other "transported into a game world" type of manga where you can really enjoy the feeling of every single booty slap she is going to get for being a bitch)

Also Yes i am clearly taking this comic way to seriously.

If such a technology ever were to be created. Without a doubt, that at least for day 1, MAYBE 10% of player characters would reflect their actual gender.

Also to add, probably even more common:
- The noob, or eternal newbie, or casual party wiper.
- The guy who plays with no interest on it and just asks all the time how to ... because he want to go to the raids or any other popular content straight away. Usually also part of the previous group.
- The explorer that want to see every nook and cranny.
- The original type: the roleplayer. The guy who did not forgot the R on MMORPG even if nowadays are all MMARPGS instead and have almost no roleplaying elements.


@Goldenzeal there is along strech between the fake girl and the explorer. 🤣 The fake girl can be almost any of the other types or those not in this comic.

Missed the Leroy Jenkins, lol.

i tried my best man, but there is only so much you can do :<

Real talk tho.
If i had to put the "fake girl" into a category i would honestly prefer to put them somewhere in Socializers as they are technically roleplayers.
And i disagree that the one in the comic could fit in anywhere, the character in the comic was trying to get free stuff from someone. ( but the idea of gender swaped character ofc can )
Those kind of people are by thiere nature the antithesis of a achiver as achiver people want to spend the time as efficiently and productively as possible. ( begging is none of that )

Thay are also not likely to be killers cause competitive people don't want to resort to begging.
They could lean towards explorers, as all that really takes is to be more immersed than average people.
but it's a bit of a strange way to do so unless they are role playing a harlot or just want to see what the world is like without a D.

With all that said, its not like you cant play a gender swap character and be in the other types.... there are allways exeptions
But the one in the comic is clearly doing in it for the money or is playing stupid.

Completely ignoring the blood knights, huh?

 

[TsuDohNihm]

Missing the speedrunner and healer only-chad.

 

[immortalartisan]

The merchant is the reason why free to play runescape is fucking adrenaline pumping more then any fps I’ve ever played

 

[Kronous]

fun fact, i'm the number 3 😂

 

[darkeden112]

Casuals aren't here huh...

 

[Chady]

I just find this kinda inaccurate and lacking the other types.
