| Triad City - MUD Description | |
| TriadCity is a large-scale multi-user role playing game with a literary orientation, currently in beta. Where most MUDs focus on "kill the monster" style adventuring, TriadCity explores themes which have been central to Western culture: good and evil, city and country, nature and civilization, personal and collective identities, violence and nonviolence, freedom and slavery. "Literary orientation" means that narrative techniques from the novel and other traditions are incorporated, such as voice, point of view, characterization, plot, and so on. Various forms of subjectivity are imposed on the characters which players create, some relative, some radical. This means that character histories and views of the world are potentially unique to each individual player. We entered beta testing on 10/1/01. The code is very stable, but the player base is still very small: not many people on most of the time. Best time to find folks is Sunday evenenings 5 - 9 pm PST. This is our weekly "online party", and is usually pretty fun. Player interface is a Java applet; sorry, no telnet. The client works on Windows and Linux, but not yet the Mac (we're working on it). Requires Sun's Java Plugin. We hope you'll check us out, and will tell us what you think! |
