Bartle’s Taxonomy was the earliest attempt to break down player psychology in a multiplayer environment. Richard Bartle, who created the first MUD in 1978, interviewed the players of his games about why they played. Their responses fit into 4 categories, which we now call Achievers, Explorers, Socializers, and Killers. Today, there are similar gaming platforms like MOBAs.
1. Choose a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) that you’ve played or one you can see yourself playing.
Describe the MOBA you have chosen and at least 3 player characters.
Choose one player from the MOBA that suits you and why you chose that character.
Based on the 4 categories of players, Achievers, Explorers, Socializers, and Killers, describe which player type you’d likely be in a game and why.
Include a graphic or image of the MOBA and the character you chose by embedding the image into the document.
2. Guidelines and Length: Your response and answers should be written in complete sentences, accumulating to at least (500) words.
