For the game is the only place where war is now fought. They give us The Game, a virtual reality simulation where players from cross the galaxy interact, trade, do business, fall in love, and go to war. Aliens "invade" Earth and stop humanity from tearing itself apart with war, famine, bigotry and the rest. But before all this sounds somewhat dull, it is presented against the backdrop of a very interesting story concept. With an engaging and novel story concept, the reader experiences all the major aspects of what a player has to contend with when playing a MMORPG: character creation chosing skills chosing a moral standpoint decision making - the list goes on.
Heavy yes, but not to the point of being distracting. The book delights in the player's experience of building a character and is heavy on game mechanics. The author has obviously has played MMORPGs. So bear that in mind as it will colour my views. I gave up MMORPGs as I no longer have the time, but miss the fun, challenges and character building. Not the usual outcome of such a scenario that you've probably come to expect.
Experience Online Role Playing - Without PlayingĪs an ex-MMORPGer (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) this book caught my attention by its somewhat novel concept aliens invade Earth and give us peace and a virtual realty game the whole galaxy is playing.
