Mihaly interviews Bartle
A Chat with Richard Bartle. Among other things, it discussed the possibility of WoW having an “honorouable retirement” system.
Progenitor says, “OK, well at the moment the top level is 60. I’d like for it to keep accumulating points until you got enough for level 61.”
Progenitor says, “At that point, it would ask you if you wanted to retire with honour. if you said yes, you’d go on the high score list and that would be that, you could come back to chat and stuff but no more achievement-oriented play.”
