This is an astonishing collection of ideas, information, and
instruction from one of the true pioneers of Massively-Multiplayer
Online Role-Playing Games. MMOs from the Inside Out: The History,
Design, Fun, and Art of Massively-Multiplayer Role-playing Games
speaks to the designers and players of MMOs, taking it as axiomatic
that such games are inspirational and boundless forces for good.
The aim of this book is to enthuse an up-coming generation of
designers, to inspire and educate players and designers-to-be, and
to reinvigorate those already working in the field who might be
wondering if it's still all worthwhile. Playing MMOs is about fun,
immersion, and identity. Creating MMOs is about imagination,
expression, and art. MMOs are so packed with potential that today's
examples are little more than small, pioneering colonies on the
shore of a vast, uncharted continent. What wonders wait beyond the
horizon? What treasures will explorers bring back to amaze us? MMOs
from the Inside Out is for people with a spark of creativity: it
pours gasoline on that spark. It: Explains what MMOs are, what they
once were, and what they could - and should - become. Delves into
why players play, and why designers design. Encourages, enthuses,
enrages, engages, enlightens, envisions, and enchants. Doesn't tell
you what to think, it tells you to think. What You Will Learn:
Myriad ways to improve MMOs - and to decide for yourself whether
these are improvements. What MMOs are; who plays them, and why. How
MMOs became what they are, and what this means for what they will
become. That you have it in you to make MMOs yourself. Whom This
Book is For:MMOs from the Inside Out is a book for those who wish
to know more about game design in general and MMO design in
particular. It's for people who play MMOs, for people who design
MMOs, and for people who study MMOs. It's for people with a
yearning to see beyond the world around them and to make manifest
the worlds of their imagination.
