<title>The MMO Gamer : Ragnar T&oslash;rnquist: Storytelling and World Building in The Secret World</title>

<description>Dwyn, It&amp;#039;s a fair point and I should have been clearer.   To re-emphasize though I do think that he is one of a very select few true visionaries in the game industry, with a real penchant for story telling. I do wonder though if there is a mainstream market for proper story telling in MMOs though. By it&amp;#039;s nature that generally means increased dialogue, it tends to make the gameplay flow a lot more ponderous. Again, The Longest Journey is a good example, it&amp;#039;s a great game, but it&amp;#039;s not precisely fast paced. Which for me is fine, however in this day and age I think most people are looking for instant gratification with their gaming hence the apparently unstoppable rise of casual gaming.  </description>
