Raph Koster is one of the leading lights among online game designers and he has posted up his lessons from online games. As usual with gaming posts it will mean nothing to you if you haven’t played them, but you know exactly what he is talking about if you have ever played any of them. I admit these are lessons, but to me the key lesson is that these games are in their infant state, you have to expect some limitations. That doesn’t mean you should stick to a game forever even if you are bored with it, but expecting the holodeck experience is a waste of time in these games.
