I know I haven’t posted at all lately and shame on me for popping my head out of a rock to post a self-congratulatory message about an Iron Realms game, but I’m going to do it anyway. It’s fairly rare for gaming magazines/sites to pay any attention to the continued existence of text MUDs so we were thrilled when a UK print magazine called Total PC Gaming called Achaea the top MUD in the world (second was Discworld MUD and third was Wheel of Time MUD). There’s no online link to point you to, unfortunately, as they don’t seem to publish their issues online in a comprehensive way. Congrats to everyone who’s had anything to do with Achaea over the last 11 years and especially to the current team running it, led by Maya and Clementius. Damn good job.

I’ll try to post more often, though no promises. Things are going very well at Sparkplay, and we’re up to 13 people plus various contractors now. If you’re interested in seeing where we’re at with Earth Eternal, take a look at this screenshot of some of the development team in-game.
