Re: Reaching out beyond text MUDs
Yes. I have yet to play one (And have played through most of the more popular (Ultima Online, WoW, Elf Quest) that shows me anything but hack/slash Halo style gamers on them.
Very few computers lack the ability to play advanced games. And what is the difference between "serfing the web" from these locations and playing a mud in spare time?
My main argument is that I laugh at the roleplay and imagination of players of Gui Muds just as quickly as they laugh at the lack of graphics on Text Muds. It is really that simple. But despite the laughter, both games have their appeal and unappeal, pros and cons. And both are viable entertainment.
