		Garriott's P.R. blitz comes after the end of a one-year noncompete clause in his contract with Electronic Arts, the company to whom he sold Origin, the Austin game studio he founded to develop his Ultima games, in 1992.
		Garriott's return to the gaming industry after parting ways with EA in late 2000 was supposed to be at a start-up called Destination Games, a company he planned to run with his brother Robert.
		And while Garriott says the game is aimed at a more casual, younger demographic (15-25, by his estimate, as opposed to the 20-35 that's the more typical segment among MMRPG players), its shortcomings are still conspicuous.

		Waiting for Richard Garriott in the lobby of Origin, I'm hypnotized by what's playing on a nearby screen.
		It's a roadblock Garriott anticipated, and four years ago, he bet against his employees and won, sure that Origin would not be developing games for a market proliferated by high-speed, low-latency Internet connections by the year 2000.
		Nonetheless, Garriott boasts, "UO2's (Ultima Online 2, scheduled to come out sometime this year) graphics are already better than Ultima 9's, and it's all in 3D." Also in the works is a deal just signed between Electronic Arts (Origin's parent company) and AOL to take over AOL's online games link.

		Richard worked on a bunch of DandD-related computer programs culminating in the game Akalabeth (a name which he didn't realise for years he had subconsciously pinched from Tolkien).
		Where Warren and Richard differed was on single-player versus multi-player and that largely seemed to stem from their different goals in audience size.
		All the business comments Richard made had Warren staring in disbelief: 'Richard Garriott died five years ago and was replaced by his brother', a reference to Robert Garriott who ran the business side of Origin Systems.

	Interview: Richard Garriott, MMO Visionary -- Page One of Two
		Garriott: Well, we have a world editor that will have objects and tunnel pieces and trigger events, and each time we build one we’ll custom connect the tunnel pieces together, or outdoor pieces together, and custom put out NPCs, put down treasure events, to where that scenario was very carefully designed.
		Garriott: If I understand your question correctly, in the massively multiplayer setting, everyone is there together, and so if you could remove the word avatar and replaced it with the word Jedi, then there can be multiple Jedi.
		Garriott: The live team, if anything, will be bigger than the development team and will include all of the development team for as long as we can keep them in there, at least a couple of years.

		Even Richard Garriott had a couple of years of practice under his belt before he got his "lucky" break with Akalabeth.
		Garriott says he only sold a dozen or so of these that summer.

	Richard Garriott at GDC 2006 \| TenTonHammer
		Garriott believes that console gamers are looking for a different experience than PC gamers, and that the single-world setup in games like Anarchy Online and EVE Online, as opposed to a collection of insular servers or "shards" - all these a mistake.
		Garriott hinted at an unannounced project internal to its Austin, TX headquarters with a dozen member team.
		Finally, Richard Garriott was asked what his vision for the future of MMO gaming is. He doesn't believe the naysayers who believe the market is saturated, rather he believes technology crosses a threshold and the complexity of the game is dampened down to take advantage of the new technology.
