I suppose i like text based games for the same reason people might
like a book better than the movie. I've been playing eotl.org:2010 on
and off since the internet began. The mud was started at Stanford
something like 20 years ago and contains a neat collage of some
brilliant minds.
The theme is pretty much anything awesome and is extremely pollished
and well crafted. It's pretty serious action and you're afraid to
die so it gets your heart beating. The system is simple but deep,
spending experience to gain skills and stats with tons of guilds and
races for experimenting in different builds.
The mud has dropped into some obscurity from hundreds of players, but
those of us still mudding agree it's the most interesting one and
with the absolute best play mechanics. There's also an open
application process to become a wizard and code there, which is how
it's collected such good content over the years.
Anyway, i'd like to see it become less obscure again, so check it
out sometime, and cheers. Oh, one more thing, there's no sensoring at
all and anything goes, so it's rated R, such as life. That's not to
say people are jerks, it's all for the good and groovy.
