Sometimes I'm looking to experience content and I'll get into Champions or LoTRO, and other times I'm looking to generate the experience myself and I play Eve.Blue Kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837719824734379806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38541167.post-33750973913080528002009-09-18T11:16:33.550-07:002009-09-18T11:16:33.550-07:00@ Blue Kae - After writing this, I've been won...@ Blue Kae - After writing this, I've been wondering if I oversold the division between gamers. Both you and Ardwulf are perfect examples of people who enjoy multiple playstyles. Different games stratching different itches is am excellent summation.Marty Runyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456700794989273981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38541167.post-90429648795918189072009-09-18T07:23:12.021-07:002009-09-18T07:23:12.021-07:00I've never heard of GNS theory before, it'...I've never heard of GNS theory before, it's good to see someone bring some science into the discussion.<br /><br />As both and Eve and a LoTRO player, I definitely think that the games scratch almost completely separate itches.Blue Kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837719824734379806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38541167.post-1560245891369354632009-09-13T11:25:30.784-07:002009-09-13T11:25:30.784-07:00@ Ardwulf - If I'm offering for everyone to bl...@ Ardwulf - If I'm offering for everyone to blame you, I should offer you the credit as well. Maybe you should suggest more blog posts. :)<br /><br />@ Yeebo - Thanks for the compliment. I hope that, if anything, I've been able to throw a little light on why MMO players have so much trouble discussing these games.Marty Runyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456700794989273981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38541167.post-77486947802491542122009-09-13T00:42:48.209-07:002009-09-13T00:42:48.209-07:00Holy crap, that's the best blog post I've ...Holy crap, that's the best blog post I've read in about a month. Never looked at EVE that way, but now that I see that viewpoint I'm damn near certain it is correct. "Tour de force" indeed.Yeebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028940396189544294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38541167.post-42039254005617736222009-09-12T20:37:48.197-07:002009-09-12T20:37:48.197-07:00Wooo, I'm impressed that you invoked Ron's...Wooo, I'm impressed that you invoked Ron's Big Model; this is a phenomenal post, a <i>tour de force</i> to have brought in a highly complex piece of RPG theory, explained it so clearly <i>and</i> related it to MMOs, without once using the diluted term "sandbox" that gets thrown around so much in these parts. And hit the nail right on the head.Ardwulfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612113439848252327noreply@blogger.com
