If someone is at an obvious disadvantage, he will try and turtle to the best of his ability to try and force a “stalemate.” A programming language and a programming paradigm can shape how we engineer a world. As with our natural languages perhaps there is a cognitive dimension, but without having to even reach that far it is safe to say that engineering practices establish approaches to problem-solving that bias solutions. These practices are hard to ignore in especially high-stakes, risk-adverse software development environments. Thus our first biq question, can game software development as it is now conducted scale in the face of advances in hardware, appetite for content, and capped costs?

With respect to (A.), casual players seem to find it more difficult to integrate themselves within the Uberguild networks that frame large zergs. Beyond structural barriers such as level and character requirements – organization and participation overheads associated with these events can be daunting to occasional players.

But - I'm sorry to say - Keep taking is pretty dull for me at least - once you've taken a few towers and a keep with a decent-sized Zerg - bleh! Plus - this has made playing a melee character pretty tough in the game - if you're not a stealther/ranged caster you're out of luck. You spend a lot of time defending keeps and you get to twiddle your thumbs if you're a melee person. A programming language and a programming paradigm can shape how we engineer a world.

Player-Time Imbalances…Although the Zerg race units are more or less balanced by cost compared to other races, they are much easier to produce and use in terms of player time. In large part due to this characteristic, the Zerg race was the dominant race in tournaments and competitions for roughly 6 months following Starcraft's release.

Stealth has to have a paper to its rock if it's going to be in the game at all--but there have to be ways in which the actual playing skill of the stealther and the skill of the anti-stealther (or the challenge of the environment) are checked against each other.

It seems pretty inevitable. If you cruise around the MUD Connector you will find lots of ghost towns out there. I'm sure many of us have experienced a world or two closing in the past, but more commonly they seem to hang on in some diminished way. This is an attitude (deeper than that, it's a disposition) which I'd suggest is rooted in developer practice generally, and computer games developer practice specifically. It is a view which recognizes that which is scripted, modeled, or otherwise generated according to the practice of software development as seemingly both the (only) site of creativity and (therefore) the ultimate locus of value. Cheap SWG Credits are on hot sale on all servers, especially on American servers. They looked friendly enough--at least, no one had fruit ready to throw at us. It was simply kind of surreal, after reading the comments on TN this past week and hearing other things at the conference about the problems with game studies and developer/academic relations.

I was just link hopping from Nate’s Stories, Worlds, and Pyramid Power and came across the Mall of the Sims transcript of an interview with Will Wright from Sept 03, where he says this: This is an attitude (deeper than that, it's a disposition) which I'd suggest is rooted in developer practice generally, and computer games developer practice specifically.

During the past year, I've spent significant time with two MMORPGs: City of Heroes and World of Warcraft.

I suspect diversity is somewhere there: when expectations become too refined and honed - groups fibrillate, and when thoughts too conformist, well, something like that. ...the difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she's treated.

If you are an MMORPG player, at least of the kind that I am, you live for the "groove": that perfect group-in-motion where "everyone is competent," "sufficiently selfless," and spiced with some ill-defined "above average" quality. With a groovy group you can go places, good places, travel up town to mean places. You can really rock. Yet, the funny thing about grooves is that they are hard to come by.... It also raises some interesting non-design problems. It looks to me as if it would discourage RMT, for example, because investments won't necessarily be seen as sufficiently long-term. The truth is World of Warcraft Gold doesn’t HAVE to take a long time to get, especially in the higher levels. Buy WOW Gold here, and then enjoy your excited WoW life! Warhammer Online Gold will keep your high power. On the other hand, if RMTers persuade the courts that people own what their characters own, the whole concept of a purge might be threatened.
