Materials related to this program are now compiled here.

This Monday, March 10th, 2008, at 11:00AM-12:00PM SLT (2:00-3:00PM EST), Robert Bloomfield and Metanomics will host Richard Bartle, veteran game-maker and author of the first book on the design of MUDs, Designing Virtual Worlds.

This interview will cover how current worlds embody the tenets of his book and analyze the extent to which the current state of virtual worlds reflects the hopes Bartle had for this medium when he co-developed the Multi-User Dungeon.

More information, including background reading and event location information, is available after the jump.
