AGC Liveblog
Here's a good liveblog from the Austin Games Conference (wrapping up today) of a panel between:
* Raph Koster (President of Areae, formerly Chief Creative Officer for Sony Online, and lead design on Ultima Online previous to that. Used to work on LegendMUD as well.)
* Erik Bethke (CEO of GoPets, which does...GoPets. Google them.)
* Marc Jacobs (Studio GM of EA Mythic...did Dark Age of Camelot, doing Warhammer Online. Way back in 1984 launched the text MUD Aradath, and also did Dragon's Gate MUD)
* John Smedley, President of Sony Online (Everquest, Everquest 2, Star Wars: Galaxies, etc)
It's ostensibly entitled, "What are the biggest online gaming opportunities?" but it largely turns into a debate about subscriptions vs. microtransactions and RMT.
