Arden: The World of Shakespeare
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arden: The World of Shakespeare is a massively multiplayer online game created by a team led by Edward Castronova of Indiana University.
The project was sponsored by a $250,000 MacArthur Foundation grant[1]. The game was intended for the unusual purpose of running academic social experiments, in addition to teaching players about the works of William Shakespeare. However, it was released in incomplete form as a plugin to the Neverwinter Nights game, due to lack of funds and dissatisfaction with the gameplay.[2]
