On February 6, 2006, Perpetual Entertainment and CBS Media announced that Probert had been employed as an initial design consultant for the first incarnation of the MMOG Star Trek Online.
Eve Online is different from MMOGs such as World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, and EverQuest II because the player characters do not gain experience points through actions or by completing tasks.
T.L. Taylor is a sociologist who specialises in researching the culture of gaming and online communities, in particular, e-sports and MMOGs such as EverQuest and World of Warcraft.
ZeniMax Online Studios was officially formed in 2007 by ZeniMax Media, and is headed by Matt Firor, a MMOG designer and an 11-year veteran of Mythic Entertainment.
