Sweden, he is a professor in interactive media at Dramatiska Institutet where I’m taking the final year of my master’s in computer science. He has also written The Angel and I think he has done the story for CMA and for that title you are probably working on right now, saw some demo movies of it, looks very nice 
The Angel and CMA are both before my time so I wouldn’t know for sure, but he has certainly not written the story for our current title. And the ones he where in on he did in conjunction with the other designers here. The story of our current title is being written by two guys at the office. Michael might have reviewed it though.
I don’t know about CMA (Cover My Ass) so he might have been in on that one, but as you might know that project was stopped this spring.
Re: Java’s suitability for MMOGS
I work at one of the companies producing technology for hosting advanced MMOGs. Both our company, and the three serious competitors in the marketplace (yep, the four of us seem to be the only ones out there at the moment) are primarily using Java to run the server side of the MMOGs.
Thats quite a no-brainer, fo course, since Java was long intended as a server platform (J2EE being merely a repackaging of java more closely tailored to that kind of market - java has always been aimed for that kinf of position).
