Richard Garriott’s name is the stuff of legends when it comes to the world of massively multiplayer games. He created the game that helped put the genre on tract and even today is still thought of as Lord British. Several months ago, Garriott spoke on the topic of creating intellectual property at the Austin Game Conference, a meeting of developers, and those interested in the profession, to discuss and share ideas about the gaming industry, the problems they face, and the direction the industry is going.

At that time, GameZone was able to talk with Garriott about his take on creating intellectual property. He also talked about his pending project for NCsoft, the massively multiplayer title, Tabula Rasa.
