I was twelve or thirteen, playing muds on dial-up BBS door games like Quest for Magic and Crossroads. Once BBSs began dwindling away (sob), I would telnet into some small, generic muds occasionally to talk to friends playing there, but never really got into them again until I was pointed to Achaea. The Achaea/IRE communities somehow remind me of the old BBS communities from way back in ways that other online communities haven't for me.
