Hey, guys. For those of you that are interested we are progressing quite nicely. We have our pre-alpha (just a test to see if we can, in fact, get a server & account registration system working) server up and have begun dissecting the nex t stage of the programming work.
I thought I'd let you know about something intriguing. One of our newest members is an Irishman who recently published his PhD dissertation in Comp Sci on creating a Multiplayer Story Generation Engine.
Here's the published document:

In addition to all of the usual MMO fare...plus all the enhancements to questing my team and I have come up with, we will be attempting to bring this new idea (actually he has made a good deal of progress already) to fruition.
The intended result? NPCs with greater interaction and a world that responds to players with much more detail and in story fashion.
Hajo...this is much like the link you gave me to your friend's wiki page. Ive contacted him with only sparse replies But I kept going and found Chris!
Read the doc and tell us what you think.
