Richard Bartle on Beginnings The Ludogogy Podcast

If you’ve ever played a MMORPG, then much of what you experienced has its roots in the work of Richard Bartle. The co-creator of MUD - Multi-User Dungeon - in the late 1970s, Bartle has influenced designers of virtual worlds since then and is the go-to resource for academic insight in that field. Many have found Dr Bartle through his ideas on Player Types, which show us not only that there are many different motivations to play but that those reasons can shift for a player during extended play, like MMORPGs. Join us as we explore the past, present and potential futures of virtual worlds.
