While talking of Richard Garriott (a god .... that man made the best games ever - I speak of course about Ultima 7 and Serpent Isle) and John Van Caneghem (a mighty god too...) you should read an article about them here :

they now work together @ NCSoft

Old news. What's saddest, and not mentioned in the small piece, is that Garriott and van Caneghem are just rehashing the same kind of MMORPG fare that's already around elsewhere, these days, via NCSoft. I didn't necessarily expect better out of Garriott, because he was always convinced that his way was the only way to do things, but van Caneghem has some original ideas that he's never been able to do. Perhaps in the future--if he gets a chance, in this modern gaming world ruled over by huge corporations.
