Can someone explain MUDs (multi-user dungeons) to me?

Yep, I've played it on and off for years now. Is it really down to about 150-250? I remember even just 2-3 years ago it was around 600 or so at times. Back in the 90's it'd easily get to 3000 during busy times...those were the days. GS4 is awesome.

I played Gemstone III shortly after the de-ICEing and for years afterwards. I quit when they made a lot of changes pre-GS4 and they charged $70/month to play GS III Platinum/"as it was".

I'm sure they believe they lost their fan base due to the new graphic MMOs, but their own changes and fee hikes destroyed Gemstone.

Come play Necromium, we need more people to run equipment with. The more people the more equipment runs we can go on and the better equipment the players can have to conquer the inferior opposition. PKer's welcome and not limited to non pkers. All zones aren't pk so everyone can have fun. Most of the good eq runs require a level 165 character but it isn't that hard to get there and the lowbie gear equipment runs can be promising as well. You can own phomes and there is equipment storage so you can collect awesome equipment and trade or sell gear. The more players the better. If you want help in the game send me a tell or a mud mail. Don't let the other players discourage you I will definitely be there to aid you in your quest. Lastly stick with it, serious players are most welcome there by me. someone to run equipment with and to pk *cough* I mean to help in the pk battles. Start here and browse my equipment: http://necromium.com/armory/?name=shilin Hover the mouse over the eq to get a good idea of the equipment stats and what zones they can be gotten from. I think that is a good start for anyone in the Necromium world. o==[]===> Shilin o==[]=====> necromium.com port 4000 Don't forget to send me a mud mail i'll definitely get you started.

People walk around pushing carts and waving at all the folk.  You notice underfoot the beautifully paved cobblestone center.  Small sprouts of grass jut out from the corners of the cobblestone.  A gleaming pearl white fountain lays in the center of the area gushing out its healing water.  You lean over and take a sip of the water and enjoy the city's views. A pearl white fountain laced with gold trimmings rests here. An enormous map of Necromium has been posted here.
