Since the servers are down, I thought I'd share a website that's fun and interesting to look at. This guy has spent years doing (fairly) legitimate, though casual, research into MMOs and all their little facets. Lots of interesting reads on this site.

Wow, the results of this survey are actually a lot more diverse than I thought they would be. It's fun to see everyone's outcomes.

Competition: Gamers who score high on this subcomponent enjoy the rush and experience of competing with other gamers on the battlefield or economy. This includes both fair, constrained challenges - such as dueling or structured PvP/RvR, as well as unprovoked acts - such as scamming(nope) or griefing(oh yes!). Gamers who score high on this subcomponent enjoy the power of beating or dominating other players. Your percentile rank is 90% on this subcomponent.

Guess I am a loot/ERP whore:
