Whereas its predecessor looked at how MMOs can change the world, MMOs from the Outside In: How Psychology, Law, Culture and Real Life see Massively-Multiplayer Role-playing Games looks at how the world can change MMOs ? and not always for the better. The aim of this book is to inform an up-coming generation of designers, to alert and educate players and designers-to-be, and to caution those already working in the field who might be growing complacent about society?s acceptance of their chosen career. Playing and creating MMOs does not happen in a bubble. MMOs are so packed with potential that those who don?t understand them can be afraid, and those who do understand them can neglect their wider impact. Today's examples are little more than small, pioneering colonies on the shore of a vast, uncharted continent. What monsters lurk beyond the horizon? What horrors will explorers bring back to torment us? MMOs from the Outside In is for people with a spark of curiosity: it pours gasoline on that spark. It: ? Explains how MMOs are perceived, how they could ? and perhaps should ? be perceived, and how the can contribute to wider society. ? Delves into what researchers think about why players play. ? Encourages, enthuses, enrages, engages, enlightens, envisions, and enchants. ? Doesn't tell you what to think, it tells you to think. What You Will Learn: ? The myriad challenges facing MMOs ? and to decide for yourself how to address these challenges. ? What MMOs bring to the world that it didn?t have before. ? How MMOs are regarded, and what this means for how they will be regarded in future. ? That playing and designing MMOs has implications for those who don?t play or design them. Whom This Book is For: MMOs from the Outside In is a book for those who wish to know more about the wider influence of game design in general and MMO design in particular. It's for people who play MMOs, for people who design MMOs, and for people who study MMOs. It's for people with a yearning to see beyond the worlds of their imagination and to change the world around them. 606 $aComputer games?Programming 606 $aComputer programming 606 $aApplication software 606 $aGame Development 606 $aProgramming Techniques 606 $aComputer and Information Systems Applications 615 0$aComputer games?Programming. 615 0$aComputer programming. 615 0$aApplication software. 615 14$aGame Development. 615 24$aProgramming Techniques. 615 24$aComputer and Information Systems Applications. 676 $a004 700 $aBartle$b Richard A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0993714 801 0$bUMI 801 1$bUMI 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254756003321 996 $aMMOs from the Outside In$92283963 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02085oas 2200757 a 450 001 9910172246003321 005 20251105213014.0 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB3110393-5 035 $a(OCoLC)78212548 035 $a(CONSER) 2007237250 035 $a(CKB)1000000000257071 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000257071 100 $a20070116b20062013 sy 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aMethodological innovations online $eMI 210 $a[Plymouth, U.K.] $cUniversity of Plymouth$d[2006]- 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 300 $aTitle from banner (publisher's Web site, viewed Jan. 16, 2006). 311 08$a1748-0612 517 3 $aMethodological innovations 517 3 $aMI 517 1 $aMIO 606 $aSocial sciences$xMethodology$vPeriodicals 606 $aResearch$xMethodology$vPeriodicals 606 $aBehavioral Research$xmethods 606 $aSocial Sciences$xmethods 606 $aResearch$xMethodology$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01095216 606 $aSocial sciences$xMethodology$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01122933 608 $aPeriodical. 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 615 0$aSocial sciences$xMethodology 615 0$aResearch$xMethodology 615 12$aBehavioral Research$xmethods. 615 22$aSocial Sciences$xmethods. 615 7$aResearch$xMethodology. 615 7$aSocial sciences$xMethodology. 712 02$aUniversity of Plymouth. 801 0$bTJC 801 1$bTJC 801 2$bTJC 801 2$bNLM 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bCGU 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bIUL 801 2$bOCL 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCA 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bAU@ 801 2$bOCLCA 801 2$bOCLCL 801 2$bOCLCQ 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910172246003321 996 $aMethodological innovations online$92178907 997 $aUNINA
