After many years of playing mmo's I started back on an old TFE (the forests edge) mud clone with a friend who had just lost his job and wanted some free entertainment (that wasnt like every other free mmo).

Much to my surprise I found that I had missed the world of text and that the game felt richer and more interesting that half the mmo's Ive played (prob since eq1 - you always have a soft spot for your first mmo!)

 

Anyone else delved back into the deep past and been amazed by the quality or interest they found in the humble text mud?

I played MUDs many years ago, and enjoyed them, but their day is long gone  Come to that, I wouldn't even go back to EQ, much though I enjoyed it at the time.

I still think that some of the text-based places had better communities than MMOs ever will, but most of them are now gone, simply because people have moved on to the eye-candy.  I went looking for one I was on for 15+ years a couple of days ago and it's gone now.  Too bad, it was a lot of fun when it was still lively and kicking.

Played: UO, EQ, WoW, DDO, SWG, AO, CoH, EvE, TR
Playing Now: Nothing
Hope: None

my imagination still runs on a 386, so my PC looks far better than the muddy can-only-imagine-one-object-at-a-time graphics in my head.

Real life is the best graphic, I can be a police man a beholder of the city, or i could be a sandwich maker.

But can you do all that while sitting infront of a PC getting fatter off of energy drinks and hot pockets?

That's pretty funny.
