Target Audience

[Nadger]

I was wondering, what is Arcanity's target audience? For example, Dark Age of Camelot was aimed at the older audiences, with an average age of 26 so far. Shadowbane is aimed at younger/immature audiences. What are you guys shooting for?

I don't think kids are rushing into Arcanity.

I did't know Shadowbane is aimed at younger people. I don't like such games because I'm tired of Korean kids in diablo II.

I don't think that Arcanity is aiming at a specific age group.

They are aiming at a type of player, The Role-Player.

They want to make the game like those RP games we played like GURPS, D&D, AD&D, ect.....

RPing skills are not determined by age, but by the will to try.

Beldragos is right. We don't have a target audience, although we'd like to have players that enjoy roleplaying. We won't be as PvP oriented as Shadowbane or as camptastic as EQ. Arcanity is more about adventuring, though fighting and PvP are there as part of the adventure.

That said, we'll get whatever types of players the market brings us. It's our job to try and create a game that encourages the type of play that we all want, but in the end it will be decided by the players.
