Terra Nova Welcomes Richard Bartle
Dr. Bartle's credits include inventing the things we're are talking about, and ... and ... hmmm. That's enough said, isn't it? But as it happens, he's also the source of the explorer-achiever-socializer-killer taxonomy of MUD players, and has written the new and authoritative textbook on Designing Virtual Worlds. Dr. Bartle - he's been going by 'Richard' around here - has a time perspective that is unmatched in the industry, and we are happy he's agreed to lend that perspective here. Welcome!

In a previous thread about Dave Rickey contributing to the blog, Richard wrote, "Yet now they appoint [Dave Rickey] as a blogger! An actual, bona-fide, hugely-respected designer! Someone who has already learned the lessons of the past and who speaks authoratively from within the field itself."
Looks like the trend continues. ;) As I said before, "There goes the neighborhood." Now I'm gonna have to read for real content instead of just laughing at the silly academics! ;)
Looking forward to your thoughts, Richard.

Jeez, it's like this place is trying to be mud-dev or something...

Considering the amount of activity over at mud-dev, it's succeeding, too. =)

Raph>Jeez, it's like this place is trying to be mud-dev or something...
It's more a MUD-EDU, except that educational MUDs don't feature.

Those who read the book will note that it's now the scientist-hacker-opportunist-planner-networker-friend-griefer-politician taxonomy. Not quite as snappy, though.
