I love polls and I have been lately curious to if some of these stereotypes that get thrown around are true or not. You hear some such as "You are X years of age if you play X game" "That game is grind only X year old player would be interested in that". Let's see if one of the stereotypes hold true to what you thought it would or if you are really surprised about what age of gamer actually likes in this feature in a game.

What type of death mechanics do you prefer in a game?

I am between the age 13-21and prefer harsher penalties.(Some examples; run back to corpse to retrieve gear, loss of xp, gear degrading)
I am greater than the age 21and prefer harsher penalties.(Some examples; run back to corpse to retrieve gear, loss of xp, gear degrading)
I am between the age 13-21 and WoW had it about right or something similar would be okay.

So far different than I expected. I always unfairly stereotype younger players wanting easier games.

Do your prefer a longer leveling experience or getting to the end as fast as possible?

I am between the age 14 - 21 and prefer longer leveling because the journey matters too!

"Sometimes high tech problems require low tech solutions"

Harsh! I have been rised on Ultima Online :P when you lose your gear twice a day by being ganked by PK :P

 

Open PvP and Free Loot for Players! :P

 

EDIT:

 

And to the second Poll. I belive in long way of lvl-ing. I relly enjoy FFXI when to create "master character" you need play almost Half-Year :)

 

Skill System is the best - I love Skill system based MMO, like SWG and UO, you could drop the skill whenever you wanted and train other one. That makes you "binded" to one character at time, not 3-10 difrent characters.

Do you prefer harsh PvP penalties?

I am between the age 14 - 21 and don't put boundaries on my PvP. Free for all, lootable corpses, city captures is what I want.
I am between the age 14-21 and PvP is fun but needs limits or it would become unfun.

"Sometimes high tech problems require low tech solutions"

Grouping is very important in MMO Games, Solo? pfff! If I want solo playing I will be plaing Single Player not MMO Games!.

But there should be also for Solo Things (Gathering Common Materials, or making money - Repeatable quest or something), In FFXI the bigest "problem" is that you need group to lvl-up, and sometimes is relly hard to find one.

If we have a map of some zone, I think there should be places to "Solo Play" and places to "Team Play" and difrences would be in gaining experiance.

 

EDIT;

To PvP Poll. PvP should be open and rewarding. But it should also bring big price for it. I relly love the Ultima Online Idea, when Player could kill another player without any problems, but after doing that was marked as PK (Player Killers) And he could not enter any Player Cities! He was criminal and he was hunted by guards! I relly loved that idea. Wana be PK - go achead, but you will pay the price.

Good idea for Price List of PK would be Bount Hunties, if he kill eunogh players, there will be Bounty on His Head and he become target for not PK players to earn Money :) Simple and Profiting!
