A pretty girl walks up to you as you set foot in the inn after a long days walk. "Welcome, welcome traveler. I am Shelina, let me take your cloak." she says while she smiles at you. She points to a table near the fire to get yourself dried up from the rain outside, and asks whether you would like to have something to eat. "You aren't going to travel any further now, are you?" she asks. Well, actually you were on your way to Xersia, as you heard they could have some information on Morv Senath there, but looking at the exquisite host you have here, that can wait. Only a second after you thought that the woman stops smiling and stares at you coldly. "I can read minds you know? You are one of them, aren't you? One of the enemies of the Dragon!", she says with fear in her voice. Suddenly the room is filled with 4 hideous elementals, one of each kind, fire, water, wind and earth. "Feel my masters pain!" she yells, as her guards attack you. |
This is one of the situations you could come to
face when playing Dragon Realms. DR is a MUD, a Multi User
Dungeon (although some people call it a dimension, because of the incredible
size and depth of the game). It is somewhat like the old text adventures
you had written in basic, and later the Zork games. Only now, you play
with several people at the same time. I have seen up to 46 at the same
time playing DR, although the game could host more I guess. You play a
person, a character you can create yourself, in a different time, a different
world. You try to play your character as it would be in that magical world it walks in
as good as you can while interacting with the other players. Many plots and scemes
are continiously evolving, and quests are being solved with much adventure.
Monsters will die in your path as you try to attain whatever you set as your goal,
may it be wealth, fame and fortune or even world rulership.
There is a main story which is the main theme all other things evolve
around, and you can read it by selecting story in the main menu.
