place to start.

Never heard of any of the games that this company has released. Anyone else
play any of these games? How are they, etc...

Oh, and what's a MUD again? Is that a text only rpg, like zork or
planetfall?

This is the first time I have heard of this Co also. But I have been out of
the Realm of MUDs for a long time. I did set up a character in their
Aetolia: The Midnight Age. Was an easy set up and fun too boot.

And yes a MUD (Multi User Dungeon) is a text based RPG. Never did play Zork
but I do remember the Wizardry series. Man that was back in the day.

After a rather large let down with most MMRPGs (StarWars Galaxies being
the last). I can not understand why they are even called mmRPGs. The
worlds full of Buggerbutt9000 and IamDaManYesIam names, zero
roleplaying, etc. It is kind of a let down. From what I have seen most
of them are mainly Powerleveling games. I really hope that this will
not the be case with this game. As R.E.F. is my favorite fantasy
author, I would hate to see his wonderful world drug down into mindless
ubergaming and zero roleplaying. (But then .... playing a Valheru would
be kind of kewl. )<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Sad news about this. Post has been taken off a Feistfans mailing list.
