Learning is half the
battle!




MMORPG virgins are fairly uncommon in this day and age. With millions
of people playing World of Warcraft alone, a vast percentage of the
population has or continues to play MMOGs of some sort. However, new
MMORPG players still exist and are often ridiculed by those elder
statesmen of the MMOG industry. After seeing this dilemma occur for
years, one particular gamer has gone out of his way to help out players
that haven’t logged days into their favorite games. Musse
Dolk, a
Swedish student of game design, has put together The MMORPG Gamers
Handbook which actively tries to alleviate some of the growing pains
many new players experience.



However, to learn the background behind this book, Ten Ton Hammer sat
Musse down for a series of questions concerning his background with
MMORPGs and exactly how he came to the decision to create this piece of
work. This exclusive interview sheds some light on Musse’s
past and
exactly how Musse hopes this guide helps new gamers. Enjoy!

Ton Hammer: What sorts of subjects are covered within the handbook?
Since every MMOG is different, what did you discover was the basic
categories that are in every MMOG?

Musse: style="font-style: italic;"> What I discovered was that even
with all the guides
and spoilers that are focused on one specific game, many players had a
lot of the same kind of problems. Many totally new players feel lost,
not knowing what’s “expected” from them.
This guide should give them
some guidelines to follow and at the same time teach them the basics of
teamwork.
