Communities at Play

And finally, this should be the complete list of Communities at Play case Studies...

John McClaren

John's look at the MMORPG Project Entropia.


Thomas Larsen

Sam Field

Gerald Sim

Farhana

...and finally, two more World of Warcraft case studies from Steve Perriman and Bryce Wojtowicz.

There are a few studies missing from this list which don't appear to have gone online yet, but this is pretty much everything. On the whole the case studies have been a pleasure to read through, especially given the diverse topics!
This will probably be my last post to this blog so I'd like to take the opportunity to thanks those who have contributed their time to keeping this 'experimental' format going - you will have your opportunity to give your views in the self-reflection so don't hold back! :-)

In the meantime,

have fun,
Stew
