What Raph Koster learned by playying MMOs

Read it. Read the gospel of Koster. It makes me wonder if a complex game like he suggests would be successful. Maybe it would simply be important and meaningful but not a financial success.

From the articles I've read, this is pretty unique. The line, "There is art and beauty in the world, but you can’t be responsible for any of it," is incredibly sad. Don't know exactly what to make of this. There seems to be a switch in the writer's attitude from playful/ funny in the beginning to sad/ regetful at the end. Judging from his list he has a bit of experience in these worlds.

Nice post.
