0k21 is right, but here are a couple more details: - The Multiverse engine is still in beta, so the screenshots (of games other than Firefly, I mean) that are available aren't even from a finished engine, forget a finished game. There's an intervi…

For AI to work in a mmorpg it have to be built within a world where they can have goals, otherwise it will be the same scripted (God, I hope that word will never be utterd in the world of games again) do X to get Y gameplay. I totally agree with…

Funny, I just finished reading something really cool on TerraNova (a MMO blog with a lot of academics, but also developers like Koster), and then came over here and happened to see this topic. Over on TerraNova they've been talking about whether MM…

Meridian 59 for me, 10 years ago now. Gah!

Oh, I'm not disputing "real money transactions" at all, it's definitely there and growing. People can and do make a lot of money by selling items in games. That's not the hype I was refering to, though: I meant, don't believe the hype about Second…

Well I just posted this in the other thread with this same name, but then noticed that this thread had more replies. So just in case anyone is watching this thread but not the other... Second Life does not have 1 million players. They have 1…

Check out the coverage here. SL doesn't have 1 million players/users, it has 1 million accounts created. In that link, Raph Koster points out that UO hit the 1 millionth account created right around the 3 year mark as well (so about 6 years ago no…
