When Roy Trubshaw and I worked on MUD1, we saw it as a means of giving people freedom. For players, freedom to do and to be; for us, freedom to make our imaginations real (well, OK, virtual). Most of the early UK virtual worlds that followed had that same sense of idealism. After our "high energy" presentation, the questions were even stranger. Someone asked why humanities research got left out, and we had to say that we couldn't find it to be directly relevant on our top 10 list of bulleted points. Ian made the point, and I agreed, that doing the research for this panel made us think differently about academic research. While I'm not going to say that what we've done personally has no value, it was a definite challenge to try and make it *directly relevant* in a BULLETED POINT for developers.

WoW gold game has been described widely as a "newbie-friendly" game, but after playing since the closed beta phase that started back in Spring of this year, I can honestly say that WoW gold game is friendly to everybody.

In a party in WoW gold game: /p [message] (alias '/party') - Send a message to the party channel...

/i [allied player] (aliases '/inv' and '/invite') - Invite an allied WoW gold gameplayer to a party/raid. If no WoW gold gameplayer is specified, invite your current target. PARTY/RAID LEADER ONLY.
