Lord British...
Hmm isn't that the guy who was killed in an In-game event when he wasn't supposed to be able to be killed.
Thanks for the post.

I don't know, I'm just not that impressed with Richard Garriott as a game designer.

Sure there is some nostalgia associated with Ultima and UO launching the graphical RPG space, but overall the genre has matured so much over the years. His participation in the RPG genre since then has been pretty poor, IMO.

Ultima Online 1997 Producer
Ultima Online: The Second Age 1998 Executive designer
Lineage 1998 Executive producer
Ultima IX: Ascension 1999 Director
Lineage II 2003 Executive producer
City of Heroes 2004 Executive producer
City of Villains 2005 Executive management
Tabula Rasa 2007 Executive producer

Lineage has done well, but not really here in the US. CoH had a very strong following, but it was pretty niche. Tabula Rasa I felt had some potential, but it wasn't ready when launched and flopped pretty hard. UO hasn't gone through any kind of great move forward since the original either, IMO.

He was a pioneer for sure, but I wouldn't want to send any of the original Apollo crew back to the moon just because they did it first.
