Jon Wood is on location in Atlanta and brings you the first of several blog-style reports from the site of the SOE Fan Faire.

Well, I arrived at the Sony Fan Faire a bit late today (Wednesday), due to some brutal travel issues. Still, I managed to head on down to the “meet and greet” that kicked off the event. Held at one of the hotel’s resultant/bars, it was an interesting time to get to sit down and just talk to people.

It’s an interesting blend of people who are here at the event. Of course, you have Sony’s employees, who are very approachable and friendly. It was more of a party atmosphere than anything else, and that seemed to set the tone as the Sony people mingled and chatted with players and members of the press.

I must agree on the mix of individuals I saw there. There were no common stereotypes that stuck out. Looked like a day at any normal event. Just regular folks young and old, male and female.

While I agree that we often have pre-conceived ideas on what type of people play MMORPGs (aka "The Young Male") and that the actual player-base is much more diversified, I don't think you can say the people at Fan Faire are a good representation of who plays the game. At least not proportionnaly.

There are reasons some people goes to fan faires, being financial ressources, availlable time and geographic localization. You also need into account the motivation to do so -- its a social event after all and you can't say all MMO players are that social.

All these factors play on your demographics; who's going to Fan Faire and who's not VS what's the actual player base for the game.

Furthermore, can you say your average EQ2 player is also your average MMORPG player ?
