Massive was a symposium on multiplayer games and virtual worlds I produced while a Research Associate in the Institute for Software Research at UC Irvine. Jack Emmert, Cryptic’s lead designer of City of Heroes, gave a fabulous keynote about designing an MMOG for the Ancient Romans, stressing cultural preferences and prejudices. The rest of the program and speaker list can be found here: http://www.isr.uci.edu/events/massive/. Debra Brodbeck and Shellie Nazarenus were instrumental in putting on this event; I developed the web site concept with Yuzo Kanomata.
