Arden: The World of William Shakespeare

Developed by an Indiana University team led by Edward Castronova, Arden was intended as a platform both for conducting research on economics and social systems in virtual worlds and for educating users about Shakespeare. The project was discontinued due to inadequate funding and dissatisfaction with the gameplay, with a release of what had been completed as a custom Neverwinter Nights module primarily based on Richard III.
