There's an online text-based MUD that I've been playing since around 2004 (I've been playing in MUDs since finding them online as far back as 1994, before the web was a thing). By which I mean I started playing it when it came out in 2004, then left somewhere around 2010ish. Then recently came back to play a totally different character last year. This is an RP heavy MUD (plus you can be trans, or NB, and choose your race or change your race, lots of options). Players have a lot of control over making things happen. They get to design everything from clothing to furniture to food and beverages. The Gods tend to be real (and played by real people). Part of what I enjoyed about it was that PvP on the main plane of existence was monitored and controlled. So it was possible to avoid a lot of griefing that happens in other games.

This time around I've created a cook who is running a fine dining restaurant. The admins recently added a whole bunch of stuff to make running a restaurant more feasible and I'm really down for this. It's got my creative juices flowing again.

But I do miss when there were more people around to interact with. I don't miss when most of the people around to interact with were just jerks who wanted to RP being an asshole and just expected everyone around them to take it in the name of "good RP". Fuck that noise. I get wanting to play, say, an asshole who does dickish stuff in a game. The thing is, in order to do this, you have to be an asshole to other players who are not assholes. It's tiresome and I don't enjoy being the butt of your mean-girl RP thankyouverymuch. I'm here to have fun, to be cute, to cook and brew beverages, and just generally have a nice time.

The game is dying, of course, for a lot of reasons. But at least some of it is because 1) no one reads any more and 2) They want flashy video games, not games where they have to READ the SCREEN to know what's going on.

This is a really long-winded way of me saying "Hey, come on over here and play! It's a little boring sometimes, but it can be fun". If you do come over, I'm in the city of Gaudiguch, and I have a restaurant based there. Come play! (Feel free to ask me questions or for help if you decide to play)
