In case you were wondering what LB is doing these days; Gamespy has previewed Tabula Rasa, the new MMORPG he and Warren Spector are working on:
Players also receive a monthly stipend that they can use to decorate their homes, buy craft materials, create furniture and draperies, and set up their own inviting social spaces. You don't ever have to go on an adventure if all you want to do is create a virtual watering hole. Of course, their homes won't be decorated with any of the cool souvenirs available to the more physical types, but such things aren't usually terribly important to the social MMO player anyway. |
