"When Rob Shillingsburg and Alex Carobus started Wild Shadow Studios after leaving Google in 2007, they decided to go big right away with Realm of the Mad God. Big studio games like World of Warcraft or Everquest demand large amounts of the players' time to learn all the nuances and methodically increase characters' power. Shillingburg and Carobus wanted to make their game as easy to get into as possible."

I only did a little bit for this game, brainstorming / advising early on (including their previous projects), making the world maps, and now community interaction (irc, forums). I'm very happy to be involved with it. It's been a crazy ride. :) (Map algorithm: http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp... )
