I'm kind of interested in an online game myself. I played on various MUSHes for years (I hopped on AmberMUSH in '96 I think and played long enough to get an advanced power and more points than I could reasonably spend on my character concept). Play by post doesn't seem to work so well for me. I guess I'm more interactive than that. Combine that with a strong likelihood of moving soon and finding a local group, which would be difficult to begin with in this area, doesn't have as much appeal as it usually would.
Oh and if Amberyl ever drops back in here... Thanks for the MUSH guide.
It takes me forever to code anything and I only know the bare-bones basics but I picked up what I know about MUSHing from that.
