Comments on: City of Twixt http://www.nerfbat.com/2009/07/07/city-of-twixt/ Game design, development, and industry commentary by MMO Game Designer Ryan Shwayder.

He was being a douche to people and then acting surprised/upset when people treated him like a douche. I don't think there's anything wrong with playing to the edges of the rules (as long as you don't cross them; if I was a CoH dev I'd have stopped that teleport-to-the-guards exploit almost immediately), except that you're being a jerk... just don't be surprised when people treat you like a jerk.

I still revert to those ways sometimes (e.g. kicking people off cliffs with a horse in AoC for many hours), but I'm generally a lot nicer (and I've never really been a jackass in chat, just with my actions). Thanks, Garthilk. The vacation is over and I'll be taking the in-laws to the airport tonight. I'll still have the new puppy to slow my posting down, but I expect to be able to make some worthwhile posts soon. Yeah, I was a huge douche in UO.

That makes both of you douchebags but I'm going to opt for the Prof. as the biggest douche. I'm a Prof. and he gives us a worse name. If I were a game designer I might lean the other way. Hmm.
