Gaming Industry Engages in a Bit of Nostalgia
An anonymous reader writes "At Gamasutra, the latest answers to their Question Of The Week are up, asking game professionals how they got their start in the industry. Answers range from the classic ("While I was an MIT undergrad, a couple of my closest friends were co-founders of Infocom in 1979") to the quirky ("I got into games because my sister complained that I never called her. She set up an account for me on GEnie so I would at least email her. Not long afterwards, she suggested I check out GemStone III... Eventually, I ended up... [at] my current position as a designer for EverQuest II.")"
If you're interested in a text-based mmorpg, then Achaea is it. It's free too.
I don't even care if I get modded off topic for this. People have to play it. I've played enough Dragon Realms to uh... fill something really big... but Achaea is it man. Player run everything, great people, good login levels... etc... Go go...
