Recently I've swapped (forgive me) from text MUD's to the EVE's, Dofus's and PirateKing's of this world. These are three that - I - feel are different from your general WoW-clone bash-em-up game in that they (sometimes little, I have to admit) add something extra so you can "fill in the details". Matt, I expect nothing less (actually a lot more) from EE ! That being said, I expect Midkemia Online to pull me back to text MUD's. I do have to agree with the “Matt is downplaying EE”-line.

An IRE text MUD with full 3d graphics would cost substantially more than World of Warcraft cost..... Sorry about that Marc.

Oh well, back to the daydreams. And here I was, hoping EE would be like an IRE MUD with graphics. Oh well, back to the daydreams.

To fund EE you had to get one of the muds sponsored by Philip Morris. Just admit it. To fund EE you had to get one of the muds sponsored by Philip Morris.

You could probably say you're making a steaming pile and just about everyone who plays Achaea and to a lessor (because you were not as interactive with the players there) extent the other three IRE games will be exicted about it until they get their hands on it anyways.

I'm telling you guys: If you like our text MUDs, you're probably not going to get that excited about EE. It is the opposite of the text MUDs insofar as it's focused heavily on player vs. environment (ie bashing) rather than PvP in the form of PK, politics, etc. Heh heh.

Your whole post about how being Indie rocks just got obliterated by mentioning EE. Now you're going to get a bunch of posts that will go something like "EE!" *Squeal* What Pentharian said.

You're killing me, Matt. Kidding of course. I'm still waiting for some screen shots or something *urge*. Bah, you mean EE is going to be a kiddy game? You’re killing me, Matt.
