Richard Allan Bartle (born 10 January 1960 in Ripon, England) is a British writer, professor and game researcher, best known for being the co-creator of ''MUD1'' (the first MUD) and the author of the seminal ''Designing Virtual Worlds''. He is one of the pioneers of the massively multiplayer online game industry.〔Radoff, Jon (April 2011). ''Game On: Energize Your Business with Social Media Games.'' p. 36. Wiley. ISBN 978-0-470-93626-9〕 ==Life and career== Bartle received a PhD in artificial intelligence from the University of Essex, where he created ''MUD1'' with Roy Trubshaw in 1978.〔Bartle, R: ("Interactive Multi-User Computer Games" ), section 1.5; Retrieved on 2009-01-05.〕 He lectured at Essex until 1987, when he left to work full-time on ''MUD'' (known as ''MUD2'' in its present version). Recently he has returned to the university as a part-time professor and principal teaching fellow in the Department of Computing and Electronic Systems, supervising courses on computer game design as part of the department's degree course on computer game development.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=University of Essex Module Details – EE224-5-FY: Computer Games Architecture and Design )〕 In 2003, he wrote ''Designing Virtual Worlds'', a book about the history, ethics, structure, and technology of massively multiplayer games. Bartle is also a contributing editor to ''Terra Nova'', a collaborative blog that deals with virtual world issues. Bartle did research on player personality types in virtual worlds. In Bartle's analysis, players of virtual worlds can be divided into four types: achievers, explorers, socializers and killers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://mud.co.uk/richard/hcds.htm )〕 This idea has been adapted into an online test generally referred to as the Bartle Test, which is quite popular, with scores often exchanged on massively multiplayer online games forums and networking sites.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology )〕 Circa 2003, Bartle was reported as living in a village near Colchester, England, with his wife Gail and their two children Jennifer and Madeleine. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Bartle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
