New Results at Daedalus say women heal and men fight

Posted Mar 26, 2007 at 2:57AM by QJ Staff Listed in: MMORPG Tags: Daedalus, Nick Yee

Nick Yee's Daedalus Project has been growing steadily over the many years it's been up. In that time, The Daedalus Project has managed to tackle everything from the reasons behind why people play online games to who exactly plays the games we all love. In the latest installment of Daedalus' findings, it seems there's now some sort scientific evidence to suggest that some players get their girlfriends to play to get themselves free healing.

According to the results of their latest study, women are more attuned to playing healing classes rather than men. At least 10 percent more likely, in fact. One thing they noted in the study was that this was an iffy topic for making complete generalizations mostly because of the different variables involved, such as playing with significant others. True, women may heal and men may fight, but the reasons behind it may be far from what we would expect of this sort of reasoning.

That being said, what would be your source of reasoning for playing the game? Why do you heal or fight, and do you do it because of someone else?
