It's worth noting that this paper was (as with most IGDA papers and
endeavours) the work of a group of volunteers, including the
illustrious Mr Kennnerly of mud-dev notoriety. Although I'm fairly
pleased with how it came out, there are many areas of weakness and
great room for further development.
Please drop me an email if you're interested in contributing. We
would love to have more volunteer contributions for both the
forthcoming update and the next year's paper, for which we might
even change the name;

Mostly unintentional, like most good alliteration.
I too find the PSW thing troublesome. I inherited the title and
couldn't think of a better one. The IGDA MMORPG White Paper?
No. Back to your debate... but not on this thread!
