这是啥…？难道说UO的制作群开发游戏时曾经被变态还是骇客闯入骚扰过？然后
蜕变成这一个莫名其妙的故事。有人听过这一类的制作幕后轶闻吗？还有听说过
那个UO前TEST环境的人也请分享一下？
不过说到创作游戏的工作经验…究竟是乐在工作还是边做边骂呢？我两个情形都
听说过。要说何者听起来感觉较为幸福的话…我想还是乐在工作的那种经验谈吧
。有些人是为了钱不得不低头，听来比较消极无奈…我以前在漫画上看到一句‘
因为喜欢’来回答工作理由，觉得蛮欣赏的。
关于创作经验，我联想到古代有一句话：‘天地不仁以万物为刍狗’然后就开始

大的耐心和乐趣才办得到；所以，该不会天地不仁的后面是一个问号？要做得出
万物想像中应该是需要极大的创造爱。然后…看着出现在眼前的一切物件ITEM、
机械设备、盆栽植物、夏日艳阳和浓厚积云，大概脸上有微笑的表情…就算它们
终将消逝。
