Some very interesting reads here from one of the lead designer of Ultima Online.

Those are amazing reads for anyone interested in game design, sociology or even psycology. Don't let the fancy terms scare you, what is written in those essays is gold, to the point and a source of guidnance to anyone willing to listen. Many game designers should read those essays before they event want to start making a game. As much as I think all of that is common sense, apperantly it isn't...

I know I am saving every single of those essays to my hard drive, and I will use them as refrences later. Thanks so much for that amazing link.
