 Hardcore fans are here to stay. Meanwhile casual fans come and go

How does one define a casual and hardcore fan?

That depends on what the thread is complaining about.  

My question wasn't really directed at you, but rather the OP (just to clarify since I am prone to not directly quoting the post above me when I respond to posts above me >.>).

Although anyone is free to answer.

I guess as good of a place as any is within the context of the OP's usage.  It's vague and general, since the post lacks specifics.


So what attributes make up a casual player and a hardcore player?

Fan: Does visit the BSN regularly. The BSN is his primary source of information about Bioware games. The fan did finish the game multiple times. Will most likely buy DLC.

This is an interesting perspective. I have closely followed BioWare since 1998, but was never really a regular poster on the boards. I avoided the Interplay boards (interface was largely junk), though I did spend a fair bit of time on the KOTOR boards (less so the NWN boards).

I stopped going to the BioWare boards because I largely found myself not enjoying spending much time there, though I still was the type of person that completed Mass Effect 1 in a single, 30 hour sitting.

I started with Akalabeth.

NICE!

In general I agree with your post. As much as I like to think it was never the case, once upon a time I was bad at games.

It's just that I started playing them when I was like 3 years old (Lode Runner) so I got an early start. It's actually funny because games I once thought were super hard are now actually quite easy when I go back to them.
