Richard Bartle, the co-creator of the original MUD in 1978, recently did an interview on The Guardian Unlimited's Game Blog. There he is quizzed about a range of subjects and says that if given the chance, he'd take over and close WoW, but not for the reasons you might think. It's a good read.
If you could take over control of one major MMORPG - which would you choose and what would you do with it?
I'd take over World of Warcraft and I'd close it. I just want better virtual worlds. Sacrificing one of the best so its players have to seek out alternatives would be a sure-fire way to ensure that unknown gems got the chance they deserved, and that new games were developed to push back the boundaries.
Er, I would get to do this anonymously, wouldn't I?

When a company comes out with something decent then WoW wont hold as big of a market share, there are pleanty of informed adult players out there. Visit me at AmpWoW.com
