As a small group, look at videos of Maple Story and WoW to see what the environments and avatars are like.
Then imagine you are designing an MMO for a meeting setup where co-workers come in to a meeting space in a MMO's VW and conduct their meeting OR have a corporate team building event. Co-workers have different project roles (e.g.. designer, developer, manager)
Think about what the meeting space look like and what type of virtual world setup would you create? Maple Story? WoW? SL? Base your answers on the user preferences reported in the readings and how you want to change or enforce norms within the game.
What avatar design features would you provide?
Think about workplace hierarchy, workplace activities, and person-person interactions.
What type of learning would you provide people so they can understand how to participate in the space? Forums, conversations, inline help, etc.
