Probably an old problem... but why does Play Now at Necromium.com lead to nothing? Is a straight telnet link imposible now? Would it be so hard to at least link the Play Now option to a mud client list?
I can't even imagine how many people (1st time mudders) cruised the web site and tryed to play and gave up thinking its a !active game.
Seriously ... I think I remember hearing once that the Play Now option was disabled because some dumb-ass thought that if new users linked thru a straight telnet interface the game would look so unapealing that they would run away.
Yes telnet is lame/hard way to play... but it does at least allow a noob a chance to create a character and log in and possibly discover a mud client.
At any rate removing the button is better than having a dead button. _________________ ---DaRat

Play now! was what got me started. I played for four months before someone told me about mud clients.
just sayin.
also: vista doesn't have telnet enabled by default, so that could be an issue? _________________ "There is nothing more painful then a spark of light when you are accustomed to utter darkness."
