Yep. Never played any MMORPG. Digital heroin. I would have been the guy you read about that died after a 50-hour WoW binge… ---

I was on quite a few BBS’ but don’t remember their names. Fond memories of door games like VGA Planets. In fact I have several door games on 3.5" floppy disks in the “archive”. ---

Used to play on a variant of Circle MUD called Archipelago. ---

I used to be quite the infamous mud hacker. Why I rember this one mud, lone star operated out of the university of Texas somewhere… First mud to introduce double passwords for wizards to keep hackers out. Didn’t matter, I had root access to the box because the sys admin used root password to play another mud. Which we had hacked and were logging plain text passwords and ip adresses. ---

Hooooollly cowww! Kay, I got to being curious about BBSs, Citadel, and TradeWars… I didn’t expect TW to still be around, but… [http://wiki.classictw.com/index.php?title=Jumpgate](http://wiki.classictw.com/index.php?title=Jumpgate) ---

OMG… I have an ubuntu server that I run Plex on out of my house… I might just grab that and load it up just to see what is what… The fond memories of TW2002… Sell, steal, transport with 3 fully loaded colonial transports… Photon torpedo into Ferengi Space and attack the planet… I went from Angelic to Demonic to Angelic in a single day by attacking federation ships around federation space, then went and attacked Ferengal to go back to angelic and then attacked more Feds to go back to demonic… I used procomm plus for my telnet/dialup client, it had a scripting language called Aspect which was pretty easy to learn. I did all my scripting in that… Then those tradwars helpers came out and they were so much easier so I switched to those, don’t recall their names though. Good times. ---

I think everybody used Procomm Plus at one point or another. 😃 ---

When I was in highschool, and I had limited play-time on my parent’s computer, I would log onto a MUD called “Legends of Terris”. It was based out of (Great Britain? England? What was the difference at the time?) Anyway, I was introduced to it by my then-boyfriend/now-husband and was the first social game I ever played via internet. It was easy to begin, difficult to master, and was a helluva lotta fun. And yes, it still exists today: [Legends of Terris](http://www.legendsofterris.com/) My characters still exist, it can be FTP or paid premium. However, the player base (last time I logged in) was tiny, so I never really got back into it like I used to… ---

I still play from time to time. I seem to play like 2 months every 2 years. ---

I was on Realms of Despair back in the mid-90’s. Spent most of my uni career there 🙂 It’s still up and running! [realmsofdespair.com:4000](http://realmsofdespair.com:4000) ---

I once went back to my old mud back around 2000. Everyone I ever knew long gone, the mud unrecognizable, and the old wizards merely stuff of legends. [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/anyone-used-to-play-muds/20314.md?page=1)
