*still unclear on what MMO actually means*
As far as this Gemstone goes... is it ONLY text-based? Or is it one of those that show pictures every once in awhile?
Anyway...has anyone here EVER played a
MUD game? Because Gemstone sounds just like that except as a browser-based game (assuming that you do not have the option to use applicatons such as SimpleMU or zMUD).
And if anyone has problems finding a good, free MUD -
here is the best ever - at least, the best that I have ever come across. And I've played a lot. It's extremely original, something that a lot of MUDs are...not.
Of course, I highly suggest downloading a non-browser application (such as SimpleMU) instead of clicking that link. Much better that way. If you've played MUDs before, then you most likely know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, then you most likely don't. If you're of the latter group and are interested in playing and have no idea what I'm saying, just ask and I'll help.
