  • Boris Pasternak - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Boris Pasternak - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Boris Pasternak(10 February 1890 - 30 May 1960) Boris Leonidovich Pasternak was a Russian language poet, novelist, and literary translator. In his native Russia, Pasternak's anthology My Sister Life, is one of the most influential collections ever published in the Russian language. Furthermore, Pasternak's theatrical translations of Goethe, Schiller, Pedro Calderón de la Barca, and William Shakespeare remain deeply popular with Russian audiences. Outside Russia, Pasternak is best known for authoring Doctor Zhivago, a novel which spans the last years of Czarist Russia and the earliest days of the Soviet Union. Banned in the USSR, Doctor Zhivago was smuggled to Milan and published in 1957. Pasternak was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature the following year, an event which both humiliated and enraged the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. In the midst of a massive campaign against him by both the KGB and the Union of Soviet Writers, Pasternak reluctantly agreed to decline the Prize. In his resignation letter to the Nobel Committee, Pasternak stated the reaction of the Soviet State was the only reason for his decision. By the time of his death from lung cancer in 1960, the campaign against Pasternak had severely damaged the international credibility of the U.S.S.R. He remains a major figure in Russian literature to this day. Furthermore, tactics pioneered by Pasternak were later continued, expanded, and refined by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and other Soviet dissidents. <b>Early Life</b> Pasternak was born in Moscow on 10 February, (Gregorian), 1890 (Julian 29 January) into a wealthy Russian Jewish family which had been received into the Russian Orthodox Church.

  • Rubicite Breastplate, Priced to Move Cheap
    Burke, Rubicite Breastplate Rubicite Breastplate Priced to Move, Cheap: How Virtual Economies Become Real Simulations Timothy Burke Department of History Swarthmore College June 2002 Almost everyone was unhappy, the d00dz and the carebears, the role-players and dedicated powergamers, and almost everyone was expressing their anger on websites and bulletin boards. It was patch day in the computer game Asheron’s Call, an eagerly anticipated monthly event, when new content, new events, new tools and tricks, were introduced by the game’s designers. A big nerf had come down from on high. There had been no warning. Nerfing was a way of life over at the other big multiplayer games, but supposedly not in Asheron’s Call. This time, the fabled Greater Shadow armor, the ultimate in personal protection, was now far less desirable than it had been the day before the patch. The rare crystal shards used to forge the armor, which had become an unofficial currency, were greatly reduced in value, while anyone who already possessed the earlier, more powerful version of the armor found themselves far wealthier than they had been the day before. Asheron’s Call was one of three major commercial “persistent world” massively multiplayer computer games available in the spring of 2001, the others being Everquest and Ultima Online. (Since that time, a number of other games in this genre have appeared, with more on the way.) In these games, tens of thousands of players within a shared virtual environment control alternate personas, characters who retain their abilities 1 Burke, Rubicite Breastplate and possessions from session to session and who can acquire additional skills or objects over time.

  • Massive Multi-Player Online Games and the Developing Political Economy of Cyberspace
    Fast Capitalism ISSN 1930-014X Volume 4 • Issue 1 • 2008 doi:10.32855/fcapital.200801.010 Massive Multi-player Online Games and the Developing Political Economy of Cyberspace Mike Kent This article explores economics, production and wealth in massive multi-player online games. It examines how the unique text of each of these virtual worlds is the product of collaboration between the designers of the worlds and the players who participate in them. It then turns its focus to how this collaborative construction creates tension when the ownership of virtual property is contested, as these seemingly contained virtual economies interface with the global economy. While these debates occur at the core of this virtual economy, at the periphery cheap labor from less-developed economies in the analogue world are being employed to ‘play’ these games in order to ‘mine’ virtual goods for resale to players from more wealthy countries. The efforts of the owners of these games, to curtail this extra-world trading, may have inadvertently driven the further development of this industry towards larger organizations rather than small traders, further cementing this new division of labor. Background In the late 1980s, multi-user dungeons (MUDs) such as LambdaMOO were text-based environments. These computer-mediated online spaces drew considerable academic interest.[1] The more recent online interactive worlds are considerably more complex, thanks to advances in computing power and bandwidth. Encompassing larger and more detailed worlds, they also enclose a much larger population of players. The first game in the new category of Massively Multi-player Online Role-playing Games (known initially by the acronym MMORPG and more recently as MMOG) was Ultima Online http://www.uo.com, which was launched over a decade ago in September 1997.

  • The Sopranos Meets Everquest: Social Networking in Massively Multiplayer Online Games
    The Sopranos Meets EverQuest: Social Networking in Massively Multiplayer Online Games Mikael Jakobsson School of Arts & Communication Malmö University [email protected] T.L. Taylor Department of Digital Aesthetics and Communication IT University of Copenhagen [email protected] Faydark or Newark? Being virtual world aficionados, although not of the game world kind, we both tried out EverQuest when it was originally released but while Mikael quickly gave away his account information to some students, T.L. stayed. When Mikael started playing again several years later on a new account, she was already a seasoned veteran. As with other players completely new to this type of game, his main reference for how to understand EverQuest was the manual that came with the software. According to this information source, the most important tasks for a beginner were to gain experience and make money through killing small animals and to do quests to get gear that slightly improves ones character statistics. Mikael thought he would spend most of the time alone, fighting low level creatures for a long time before becoming a character of interest to the other players of the game. Secretly he nursed a vision of finally revealing himself to the community once he had become truly powerful, similar to the way Gandalf returns in The Lord of The Rings (Tolkien 2002). These expectations, however, soon proved to be based on several misconceptions. Despite first impressions of the game and, indeed, despite what one might gather from the written material, there is a much more important layer of activity to consider for successful living in the world of EQ.

  • Pitfalls of Virtual Property
    Pitfalls of Virtual Property Dr Richard A. Bartle Themis Group April 2004 Abstract This paper describes various pitfalls associated with the notion of real-world ownership of virtual property, taken from the perspective of a developer of virtual worlds. It makes no commentary on the positives of virtual property: rather, it assumes that the reader already regards the concept favourably or as inevitable, and is performing due diligence to discover the extent of any downside to it. Five pitfalls are summarised in total, of which one is philosophical, two are law- related and two are concerned with gameplay. Introduction Virtual worlds (—VWs“) are computer-moderated, persistent environments through and with which multiple individuals may interact simultaneously. In order to make these environments persuasive, such systems always present to their players an illusion that encourages the acceptance of familiar concepts such as place , inhabitant and object 1. Thus, it is usual to refer to these virtual items in the same way that one refers to real items œ as —a castle“ or —a shopkeeper“ or —a book“, rather than as —an interpretation of bits“. Many virtual worlds allow characters within those worlds to buy and sell virtual goods. If my character needed a new sword, I might approach another character in the virtual world and offer a number of virtual coins in exchange. In this way, the virtual world can have its own, internal economy dealing with virtual property; this can add greatly to gameplay. The more people who accept an illusion, however, the more it becomes real. A —share in a company“ is not a tangible thing, for example, but folk deal in them on stock exchanges every day.
