    Default Text based games

    Has anyone seen that advertisement for Gladiatus at the bottom of the webpage? If you can't find the link click my sig for a direct one. Of course, I have to tell you that my sig has my link, which is an American server (but you can change it if you want).

    I just wanted people opinions on this odd...game..it sure is a good time waster if you are just surfing the net. I also just wanted to ask if anyone actually buys those "rubies", or gems..diamonds..you've seen them all in text based games.

    And from my experience, text based games don't last too long and end up being shut down..so how come they keep surfacing?

    And feel free to avoid my sig, im not trying to make you all click it, just wanted opinions on this sort of game.
    The Gods envy us.

    They envy us because we are mortal, because any moment might be our last.
    Everything is more beautiful because we are doomed.

    The single best and most involved text-based game you'll ever find is DragonRealms. FAR more complex than any MUD, and has a far greater following.

    I'm thinking, maybe we ought to create a TWORG guild on one or more of these games and play together.

    Bah, a real text based game is Rogue.
    A just as real text based game is a Roguelike.
