Richard Garriott Speaks about MMOs

Bastieeeh · May 6, 2007

Lord British himself gave GameIndustry.biz an interview regarding his current, Tabula Rasa, MMOs in terms of subscribing players and their future. Garriott of course speaks about projected life-time sales of Ultima Online and how this demand projection had been missed (in a positive way of course).

[GI]: So every new MMO game that comes out merely adds players, doesn't necessarily take away previous generations of players?
[Garriott]: I completely believe that is true.

It's a two parted interview, right now there's the first part online and the second part will be due sometime in next week.
