Bioware Announces MMO (Via Kotaku.) This is exciting because Bioware has been responsible for a number of games that illustrate some of the principles of learning in games that show the most promise, such as the modable Neverwinter Nights and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic with it’s “morality engine” for instance, and because they might be able to tap into the promise of the MMO platform in a way that has not yet been achieved. It may be even more exciting that the Elevation Partners, Bono’s social change driven media investment company, are involved. :)
UPDATE:Here is an interesting perspective on this, also posted a while back: Life after WoW (Via Games * Design * Art * Culture.)
