Dungeons & Designers



Dave Barry tells us a bit more about his job in his most recent Dev
Diary:

The notion of the proto-typical MMO 'Player' doesn't really
exist.
Everybody likes something a little bit different from everyone else.
Sure, there are experiences that they have in common and share, but
there are many that they don't. Long ago, Richard Bartle wrote about 4
types of MMO players: Killers, Socializers, Explorers, and Achievers.
When I initially envision a quest or dungeon idea, I pick one or two of
those groups as my target and then craft a dungeon which that type of
player would really enjoy and possibly consider one of the best
dungeons in game. There's an obvious downside to that: the type of
player I haven't designed the dungeon for isn't going to like it.
