Be warned: Dwarf Fortress will kill your social life if you manage to get into it.

I just can't get past the code. Can't do it. Cannot see the Matrix for the trees. Sorry.

Anyone miss MUDs? I do... *tear*

ShadowPraxis4944d ago

Plenty of them still around.

I just have a bad taste in my mouth about them because of a past deadbeat roommate who spent all of his time mudding rather than looking for a job.

Wow... I remember playing this religiously for like a year and a half. Happy to see it's still around and people are still enjoying it. Perhaps it's time for a second dip.
