Richard Garriott (Lord British of Ultima fame) will be giving up his position at NCsoft. The eccentric multimillionaire gaming personality had an epiphany during his TRIP INTO SPACE. Time away from earth evidently shifted Garriott’s priorities and he has chosen to pursue other interests.

The trip, named Operation Immortality, also served to carry the work and genetic information of modern geniuses like Dr. Steven Hawking and honorary DFA Steven Colbert into space. Our human representatives will be preserved for posterity on the International Space Station in case of a catastrophic extinction event. If you’re into MMORPGs, think of it as wipe protection for the species.

It’s no secret that Garriott’s most recent game with NCsoft, Tabula Rasa, was something of a flop, but fleeing to space seems somehow excessive. Seriously though, it’s difficult to imagine what Lord British’s next exploit will be now that he has singlehandedly saved humanity from extinction by becoming the sixth private citizen to fly into space.
