Bartle received a PhD in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Essex, which is where he created MUD along with Roy Trubshaw , in 1978 . He lectured at Essex until 1987, when he left to work full time on MUD (known as MUD2 in its present version). Recently he has returned to the university as a part-time professor and teaching fellow in the Department of Electronic Systems Engineering, supervising courses on computer Game Design as part of the department's degree course on computer Game Development . In 2003, he wrote ''Designing Virtual Worlds'' a well-received book about the history, ethics, and "nuts and bolts" of massively multiplayer games. Bartle is also a contributing editor to Terra Nova , an influential collaborative blog that deals with virtual world issues. He presently lives with his wife, Gail, and their two children, Jennifer and Madeleine, in a village just outside Colchester , England. AWARDS
