A Tale in the Desert

Posted by michael on from the not-everyone-gets-to-be-a-pharaoh dept.

Sandy99 writes "A Tale in the Desert is a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (mmorpg) that has been in development for 4 1/2 years and goes live tomorrow. There is no killing in this game. It is all about cooperation to unlock the knowledge of Egypt. A basic overview is at the official site. Discussion forums are at atitd.net. Maps of Egypt and construction knowledge are at atitdmaps.com. Everything has been produced by a handful of independent developers and a bunch of volunteers. This is also the first mmorpg to debut with both windows and linux clients."

    I clicked on the linux client link of the main site and after displaying one page of script IE just hosed itself. I guess IE tried to interpret the .run file as something and failed. I hope it didn't nuke anyting on my machine....

    If my wife finds out about this, I'll never get to use my computer. She freaks over this kind of game... I guess I'll have to think up some other hobby. Is sword-swallowing hard?

    Not true. I'm not a girl, and I've been addicted to Creatures for a long time. There's nothing that blows up there, although you can kill them (I don't)
