Arantha showed promise, but I was never on at the right time. I need a MUD with an average of 30 players at any time, 2-3 of which I know well enough to group with and have fun roleplaying.

Dim, by the way, made a comeback in my 4th edition campaign. The players know little about him, though, but there are some hidden schemes.

What the hell are you upto? It’s me your archnemesis of many many years on FaerunMUD with so many different chars.

I hear you want to backstab Ean, why dont you do it yourself, the Rauvyon MUD is back up (www.rauvyon.com), no approvals until level 9, no pkill letters required anymore, far more XP for groups, and automatic (though rare) magical drops from bosses.

I hate to admit it, but my IC enmity with you, Devlin etc. were the most rewarding interactions I’ve had for a long time during and afterwards.

add me on msn, redknave@hotmail.com and I just might tell you how I’m buddies with Chris Avellone, the author for Fallout 2.

The guy who hates your IC guts, but thinks you’re a good sport OOC,
