When we turn to the immersion scores, we see a flip in the body types. Players who prefer Cute and Lithe characters enjoy the exploration, role-playing, and customization offered in games, while players who prefer Large and Dark characters don't enjoy these activities as much. Again, the implications for Horde and Alliance factions are interesting.

And the social scores mirror the immersion scores for the most part. Players who prefer Cute and Lithe characters are more interested in socializing than players who prefer Dark and Aged characters.
