There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
Living Game Worlds IV will focus on networked play and engage dialogues on multiplayer games and virtual worlds, including online networked entertainment as well as pervasive, mobile and tangible gaming. The symposium will explore various aspects of networked play (historical, cultural, technological and design perspectives) as well as current and future trends such as user-created content and the rising use of virtual worlds in the workplace.
Keynotes: Raph Koster, Christopher Klaus, plus a "Pioneers" panel featuring people who made it all possible: Richard Bartle, Brian Green, Chip Morningstar and Randy Farmer, and Pavel Curtis.
