People were well addicted, those who were disillusioned with their real lives got to strut around as Herculean warriors and kill lower level players at their whim. MUD then became their lives. I prophesised at the time that one day soon there would be Doom like graphics for a MUD and it would take over the world. I was disappointed, 13 years later people are still going to work and although there is WOW my Gibsonian reality hasn't been realised. :( I remember scripting and playing MajorMUD on a MajorBBS in Perth.

I used to play Nethack v3 at uni - on Sun Sparc 3s! It was so much more interesting than the 'Computer Rendering' subject I was doing. I have yet to Ascend, even with more modern versions. It now lives on my PDA for the times when City Rail suddenly forgets the Main Northern Line. OK, Oblivion is wonderful eye-candy (and at long last I have a machine that lets me push those sliders EAST!) but sometimes I long to dip swords in any available water hoping to get Excalibur, or die by falling down stairs while over-encumbered and land on the cockatrice corpse you were using as a weapon by wearing blessed gloves...
