Text based games

[TruePraetorian]

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.

Legend of the Green Dragon is still going strong.

[Kekvit Irae]

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 got some questions, in the tavarn they told me to find "Mountebank", who or what is it?

Edit: doesnt matter, found him

Hehe... I am now way more powerful than you

[FactionHeir]

Just clicked all the links I could find in this thread

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

[shlin28]

Did you join Gladiatus?

[FactionHeir]

Well I just tried and when it was about to redirect me after creating my account, the page changed to this:

C_TXT__ERR_ACCOUNT_WARNED (+30%) 
C_TXT__ERR_ACCOUNT_WARNED2Cheatingattempt detected, this account will be blocked.C_TXT__ERR_ACCOUNT_WARNED3 
30% - Fri, 04/04/2008 - 23:33:37 - Cheatingattempt detected, this account will be blocked.  ID: 473


==> 30%

Am I too good to sign up for this game?

[Raz]

Quite clearly, it believes you are trying to cheat... I don't play the game myself but I'd believe it's something to do with your browser. Are you using Firefox? It could be an extension. If not, it could be a keylogger or something.
... or it could just be a one off thing and all you have to do is register again or something...
... or you could just be too good for the game.

[FactionHeir]

I am using IE6. Maybe it doesn't like my IP address? Should change in two weeks again anyway...

[FactionHeir]

Well, I created one on an English server now (so everything is in English):
http://world6.knightfight.co.uk/?ac=vid&vid=122115247

Let's have an .ORG guild there, shall we?
If you join, use the link and give yourself some name with the tag [TW.ORG]. Once the first of us reaches 5th level we can create the guild proper and invite the rest to join it

I'm tired of those games that wont let you do something.

OK, I am join too, are we good or bad?

[FactionHeir]

You can be either, it only affects some of the later items, but they are all balanced (and the alignment items aren't necessarily better than the non alignment ones, just cheaper). Good gives more towards dexterity and stamina (generally 1H/shield) while evil gives more fighting ability and strength (generally 2H).

I sent you three some guides and help via the ingame messenger.

[Zim]

Interesting. The crappy dialup service I'm on right now is so slow it's taking forever just to open the first page linked to, but when I get on wireless later, I'll register. Probably just as Zim[TW.ORG]. Makes it easier when I use the same name everywhere.

[FactionHeir]

May I suggest that you sign on as a knight under one of the other guys' link so as to even the bonus given to each sign up? Just want to keep things fair

You are most welcome to join. The frontpage loads rather slowly overseas for me too, but the game itself loads rather quickly.

[Zim]

I'll make sure and join through another player's link. It's getting a bit late here right now, but come tomorrow Zim[TW.ORG] shall be born.

MEtal Damage, another game of the GameForge bad games.

[FactionHeir]

Thanks for joining as well Elite Ferret. While it would have been more optimal if you had been knighted by one of the others, its of little consequence and you are just as welcome!

I sent you a few guides and helpful pointers via the game messenger, more questions, ask me!

[Ignoramus]

Sounds interesting. I'll join.

[FactionHeir]

Sent you an ingame PM

[FactionHeir]

I just created a useful forum for us to converse about the game:
http://tworgkf.proboards58.com/index.cgi

Registration-only.

[Raz]

Meh, thought I'd join. Raz of the Org is me.

[FactionHeir]

Welcome

And guys, please remember to join under one of the other knights as well so its not just me getting the wealth when you hit 3rd level
