    Are there any decent web-based turn-based RPGs out there right now?

    I'm looking for a web-based game that I can play while working, so it can't be graphical and action-based. I'm looking for an old-school web-based turn-based game where you can take a turn, alt-tab to do some work, and then alt-tab back to take another turn once in a while. Is there anything...

    EQ TLP - Next Server Ideas

    At this point, what could Daybreak do to actually get you back in to yet another TLP server? This was being discussed in the Vaniki thread, but it was getting buried, so I figured why not give it a home. If an admin wants to merge the posts from that thread over here, that would be cool.

    The next big MMORPG should drop the first M

    I think what the industry needs to do is get rid of the first M in MMORPG. They keep trying to make games that will draw hundreds of thousands of concurrent players which inherently causes a lot of detriment to the product itself. If they would instead focus on making MORPGs that you play with...
