Originally posted by Death1942 Same here, really. Steefel, Jacobs, Smedley (it's important for someone to show us how not to do things, right?), and a few others are all I can immediately recognize. Edit: I will now, and always, laugh at Godager. Glad he's on the list. |

the fact that godager is still on that list makes me happy. ao's skill system is still one of the best ever designed. Games i'm playing right now... "In short, I thought NGE was a very bad idea" - Raph Koster talking about NGE on his blog at raphkoster.com |

Tbh the only one I care about there is Raph Koster. Seeing Smedley on the list proves that the person who wrote this doesn't play mmorpgs. |

I don't know many of them either. Just...let's see... Raph Koster, Smedley, Richard Garriot... And yes, I got to know Smedley from the bad comments about his policies on SoE. :P |

Considering the plethora of crap games released 2008, i dont think being on that list is a compliment. |

Garriott's most recent game was shut down. Why are their positions on this chart, which is for 2008, BTW, a surprise again? |

AH! Thank you. ( Though I dont like to credit Garriot for TR... as I think he has gone insane since the days of Ultima Online ) |
