socializers
Those who mingle
Socializers are people who enjoy interacting with others, especially in casual or recreational settings.
In gaming contexts, socializers are players primarily motivated by building relationships and communities rather than competition or achievement: The guild attracts socializers who just want to hang out and chat.
The term often appears in player typology frameworks that categorize gamers by their motivations.
