MUDs are something that a lot of the “WoW crowd” just don’t seem to get, which is a real shame. There’s something about it that has an appeal that just can’t be recreated by graphical MMORPGs. The theater of the mind is a powerful thing, coupled with the smaller communities MUDs provide gives the player the perfect setting to build a relationship with other people but the game itself. In WoW, that kobold looks one distinct way that some artist envisioned. In RoS, it’s *your* kobold.

I’m glad you brought it back. I’ve been through the MMO scene for a while now and, to be honest, that new shininess is long worn off, so I’m looking forward to stepping back into the roots of it and checking out what you’ve built. You always been the most creative person I know (and skilled as hell to back it all up) and I think this kind of design is perfect for you.

Grats on the milestones man!
