    Coming soon to the web: the first MMO with more developers than players!

      Last time I played, if you died, you got sent to this underworld maze, and you had to find the way out. It took me about an hour to do, then I died again....screw that. If a game's gonna make things so hard, I'm not going to bother with it!

      Hmm.. if only someone could get ahold of the code and change that....

      No, but it will be when i'm done stripping the artwork of clothes.
      A free Massive Multiplayer Online Really Pornographic Game, the trees and clouds may be textured with ads but that's not going to stop you from playing it now will it?

      There's not a whole lot to strip, especially from the Matis characters.

      I expect to see your drafts later this week.

    In Soviet MMORPG, ideology frees you!

    I can't wait to be a level 80 GNU/Linux Zealot with the +3 ability to explain why Ubuntu is basically the same as Windows because it bundles £apitali$t non-free software.

    The Stallman Wizard casts Halitosis +1! He is unstoppable.

    A wild SCO appears.

    ESR uses FUDaway. It's super effective!

  5. What if we created text-only MMORPG's? by elrous0 · · Score: 4, Funny

    I've already got an idea to create a text-only MMORPG. I mean, without the graphics, the overhead will be cheaper and we won't have to charge people to play. It's a simple but elegant idea, and you all have me to thank for it. It could really take off too, if everyone else follows my lead. You can thank me for the idea later.

    Nah, Second Life is the one with more journalists than players. Well, it was in 2008, at any rate.
