Age and Phychology in Runescape

Maybe somewhat oversimplified but still quite valid classification of Runescape community by age and style (or psychological profile if you will) from Jax.

I'm just worried about the article generalizing the behaviour of these four groups of people.

How many players really do act like their corresponding classification?

Agreed tim, I wrote that same reponse to that blog on jax's site.
It's not fair to catagorize people
when so many of them don't fit those profiles.

I don't see what fairness has to do with classifications :-) Classifications by nature are general and do not account for all situations. But it is not their purpose. I bet Jagex is using something like Jax's classification during their planning sessions.

Of course, you can go deeper and establish more categories, but the point is in finding/describing general tendencies, not individuals.
