Re: Demo Sites
Yeah its the same thing. Basically its IRC in a game world. Open text based, fast moving, easy to socialize, and easy to modify so it doesnt get old.

Re: Demo Sites
And the MUDs are still popular amongst people who prefer the imagination of books, vice pablum like TV. Not that some people would understand books vice graphics

The same is true about Dwarf Fortress for example. Since it is using ASCII gfx, the game world is up to your imagination that how is it looking like. Combine imaginations with incredible good gameplay, and it can be endless fun. That is Dwarf Fortress!

Re: Demo Sites
Im thrilled. I thought I was going to be the only mirror. With so many already there I dont think I will rush it. It doesnt do any good for me to lag one of them now just to get the 3 demos so I can mirror them. I guess I should hold off of the initial rush unless someone says things are bogging down?
