As early as 1996 year ,Richard Bartle Put forward “Bartle Gamer taxonomy ”, According to the player's behavior and focus in the game , Divide gamers into four types ： Achievement type （The Achievers）、 Social （The Socializers）、 Exploratory （The Explorers）、 Killer （The Killers）. These four categories play a good guiding role in the development of the game , Decentralized games want to get more attention from traditional gamers , From these aspects , Would be a good way .

say concretely ,Bartle The four proposed game players show the following characteristics ：

Achievement type ： This kind of player likes to accomplish something that ordinary people can't achieve , Or collect some precious and rare props . This kind of player can test whether the game is challenging , They are the most loyal players in the game , Because they always play games with a clear purpose . Of course , If the game is not challenging , It's hard to attract them .

Social ： This kind of player likes to communicate with others , establish “ An association ”“ Guild ” etc. , Enjoy social fun while playing games . Their existence is easy to form a game centered community , And attract more gamers .
