So, anybody still playing this?

 

This game was my introduction to the world of MMORPG's, I played for about a year until the UO beta opened up.

It was weirdly fun.

"War is messy!"

i agree.  it was my first graphical MMO as well.  i played it for almost 3 years all through high school back in the mid-90's.  It was really fun and for it's time pretty state of the art stuff.

This is one of those games that set the standards of today's MMO's (the foundation if you will).

too bad people are rating it so low.  if released today, yeah, it is a 5/10.  but it was released in '95-'96, still going after all this time.  not many games can do that.

This was my first MMORPG too back in the day.  I was in middle-school when I played this, haha.  It was so amazing for its time.

I remember when this first came out.  I saw it in Sierra magazine and HAD to play it.  It sounded so cool, so unique, so out of this world fun!  I was about 13-14 when it came out and absolutely loved it.  Played it until a little after EQ came out.

Wow I feel so old now :( Anyone remember the box drops?  Or when Stephen reset everyone back to level 1 :P

This was my first Online game as well, back in 1996, it's still going, but it switched hands several times, from sierra to codemasters to NG.

I Remember stephen, he Tried to buy the realm but NG won the bid.

yep this was my first one as well, it reminded me so much of the old King's Quest and Hero's Quest games from Sierra.  Which this was originally a Sierra online product before they sold it.  But cool to see it alive and well.

It's showing it's age now but back then the whole online rpg thing was weird to me. So, back then it was pretty good.
