Casual Players vs Hardcore Players

Have you ever thought, when playing MMORPG like World of Warcraft, you will find a term that distinguishes between the two players? Yes, those types of players are casual players and hardcore players. But did you truly understand the meaning of those words? At least in our observations, we sought to understand the meaning of the term.

Casual Players

Players of this type tend to play games for their own entertainment, they are not going to rush to catch up the level as quickly as possible. Time spent on the this type of player is not as much as time spent by the hardcore players. They were not too adept at mastering the game, but overall they are also not so bad in the game.

Casual players probably going to follow raid, although it is rare and they do not think about the process. For the frequency of the game, casual players will log once, twice or maybe just settle things in game, according to its cooldown time. And they tend to use the auction feature to make a profit.

Hardcore Players

Players of this type will play MMORPG exceed the level of their own pleasure, rather than freelancers who play for pay, hardcore players much better. That's because they devote much of their life just to log on the game, they do things like: do all the quests, collecting herbs, rob, or just talk nonsense with another player.

Usually, they will gather in the guild who have a high level, because their purpose is realm. They also have a tight schedule against raidboss, they are obliged to attend and perform in raid a few times a week. The presence of these players have a big role, because the guild with players of this type are extremely rare. They really know well about their character class, and often discuss in message board or in the game and exchange thought among its members.

They may be bored, it's because the content does not match with their needs. Thus, they often have more than one character. And certainly, they are addicted to MMORPGs they play the same time.
