A fellow Achaean player told me. We both love roleplay-rich environments.
Former co-worker said since I like tabletops I might enjoy!
Searched for some good roleplay MUDs and this was the top one on google.
I was bored in class and I was playing Zork on a telnet server because I wanted to try it. I found it surprisngly good and I looked for more games like it after playing it for some time.

This Month's Takeaways:

The bad news is that we had a decent decline in the total number of new accounts created. The good news is that our player retention was up, and it was way up if you consider it in terms of the total percentage of new accounts. Welcome, newbies!

TMC referrals were down. This is no doubt at least partially a result of us yo-yoing between 1st and 2nd place over there. If you don't vote over at TMC, please consider doing so. Yes, you have to create an account, but their cookies don't seem to ever reset so you can stay logged in over there indefinitely. Those of you who are voting daily, thank you! TMC drives our numbers, as always.

Overall, I'd say this has been a great month. We've been noticing that peak numbers seem to be on the rise, and everything seems a lot more vibrant right now. Cheers!
