Q: You mentioned you were a big Gemstone fan from what I hear. How did you get into MUD's (Multi-User Dungeon for you heathens) and whats so cool about this particular one?
A: I loved GemStone III because it was my first introduction to online games; I haven't yet played the new version, GSIV (mostly because I'm afraid my characters might have some un-godly items on them that will alert everyone to my sordid past as a GM). I love Alliance of Heroes, though it's more difficult for me to play since now I can't just open up a file to see how the heck I'm supposed to do something!
The attraction is the community. They're vibrant, dedicated and roleplaying often spills out of the games onto the boards. As someone who adores reading, I love "walking" into a room and having my senses aroused by the descriptions. I'm one of the few players who didn't turn off room descriptions as I played. In fact, I still have my graph paper map in which each box contains the key sentences of a room so I could remember where I was and which way to go.
And yes, I played a ranger.before I knew they had a reputation for getting lost.
