This is a very academic approach to virtual worlds (MUDs, MMORPGs, etc.), and Bartle goes in-depth on every subject from players to economy to ethics. If you're interested in the booming online game industry, this is really a good thing to read up on. While the book is very clinical in approach, Bartle's writing style is entertaining and keeps it from getting too boring.

Richard Bartle is a man I trust when it comes to Virtual World design. He co-wrote the first MUD back in the 70s. How much more authentic can you get? He teaches this for a living in England. Richard makes a ton of good points in every chapter—this is the book you want to read if you’re developing online games, or even if you (like me) are just interested in the subject.

This book won’t tell you how to write your code (I don’t think there’s a single code example or reference in the book anywhere), but it will make you question all of your design ideas and the reasoning behind them. And more than likely, it will give you a new direction with loads of great ideas.… (lisätietoja)
