It's been almost two weeks since I last updated, so I figured I should update.
I was lannin' it up from pretty much 6/5 to 6/10, just been chillin' at my house since then. There's just something about being at a LAN for a while, then going back home and having a bunch of food to eat, and getting on the internet without having to worry about somebody lagging you down with Kazaa, and sleeping in your own bed for as long as you want. It kicks ass.
Not that I didn't like being at the LAN, it's just taught me to appreciate being at home a lot more than usual. I'm gonna stay home for at least a few more days, my birthday's coming up really soon (technically it's tomorrow) and my mom and sister are coming back from out of town. I'll be 20 years old... damn I feel old now.
There was a MUD that I played after Purple Dragon shut down, called "The Jungle MUD". It shut down maybe three days after I started playing, but it interested me and was very disappointing when it shut down. Well, it came back up, and I've been dumping some time into it. There's something about muds that are completely unique from graphical online RPG's... They're completely free, they're fun to play, and the community is usually very friendly and, well... not assholes. I prefer playing on muds that average about 10-30 people on at a time, because everybody gets to know each other. The larger muds aren't really like this, people mainly stay within their own little groups when it comes to socializing, because there are way too many people to keep track of.
Anyway, if anybody is interested in playing a text-based online RPG, I would recommend checking that one out. The theme is a little different than any mud I have ever played, because all of the players are animals. Instead of choosing races like Human, Elf, Dwarf, etc., you choose the type of animal you are, like Carnivore, Herbivore, Omnivore, etc... It's all on the site if you're interested (probably not).

Posted by: Tina at June 29, 2003 10:20 PMThe Jungle Mud shut down about two months after I started on it, and as far as I can tell, it's still down. I'm an ex-PDer too (PD shut down about a year after I joined), and had grown to really like the jungle mud. If anyone has any info about where it is or when it'll be back up please email me!
