Three short videos featuring Richard Garriot, his background, home and life, have been released.
In the first of the three films, Garriot explains how he came by the name 'Lord British', and goes over the games he created. Garriot is famous for making the Ultima series of PC games, which later became the first ever MMORPG, Ultima Online.
Let nostalgia take you back to the lands you once roamed until they were cruelly taken offline and away from us. MMOGames list the top 10 MMOs that died and left us with a hole in our hearts.
I agree when it comes to The Sims Online. That game was really fun and nothing has even come close to it. I still crave a new Sims with online multiplayer. Blows my mind they haven't done anything like that since The Sims Online or even The Sims Bustin' Out on PS2.
GamesRadar - You probably think online worlds shut down because no one's playing. Actually that's rarely true. Often, when servers finally wink out, there's a thriving community patiently waiting for the end and making sad faces at the sky. Most recently it was PlayStation Home, a game that no-one apparently played but which still managed to have millions of inhabitants waiting out their own personal apocalypse on the last day.
MMO-Play gathered a list of the most disappointing MMO's in the history of gaming.
Hahahaha, What's up with the Russian in the background?!
Looks like he's trying to lay a brick, and keeps smiling to hide this fact. He sits like a statue!
A great insight into his weird kooky life! He seems a very nice genuine guy.
Kinda nice to be able to know more about the developers in a personal level.
You've got to give the guy credit for what he's doing.
Such a great guy. Just a glimpse as such a cool lifestyle!
