I am sorry to say this, but I really don't like Richard Garriott. Well, from a producer standpoint.
The guy strikes me as being a lot of hot air with yesterdays ideas. He gets all this credit for UO, but other than the intellectual property (which I will admit Ultima is a big gold star for Richard) I think that the great online ideas came from the other team members.
If you want seriously interesting insights into games, Ralph Koster is one to check out. I don't always agree with his direction, but I almost always agree with his reasoning. If I were still in the game development space, I would want that guy on my team.
