    Text-Based Games

    I'm just going to make this a text-based game thread, since I've recently been getting into these type of games, and don't wanna spam the forum with a whole buncha threads.

    I recently came upon Time Hunter, and I just can't seem to stop no matter what I do...This game is pretty much perfect for all you people on dial-up or wireless or whatevar slow internet connection you have, since no graphics are needed. Click. I currently have 3 chars: Dwanin (Lvl 9 Dwarf, Clan: Nidavellir), Psanic (Lvl 8 Psion, No Clan yet), Rokobo (Lvl 8 Human, Clan: Freebirds)


    Introduction taken from "helps page" (good to read for beginners): Time Hunter is a web based multi-user adventure. Characters will move through various eras and slay enemies, gain gold, experience and purchase new equipment. The ultimate aim is to achieve Time Hunter status. Characters complete the game after slaying the Grand Master in the Mystic era at level 32. Please feel free to try all races and classes by creating multiple characters while maintaining a single user account.

    Stamina and duels, along with magic points, are replenished every 4 hours. The 4 hour period commences from when new stamina was last added. You may log back into the game within this 4 hour period without resetting the time when stamina will next be added. Also, magic replenishes as your stamina replenishes. Note: If your stamina is at full then your magic will not replenish.

    The game offers special privileges for players that choose to support Time Hunter and make a small donation. This donation can be assigned to one of your characters for added benefits including more rapid stamina refresh and the ability to purchase special items in the store. Click on the 'donate' button in the game to see the various donation options and benefits. [You also get the ability to make a clan yourself]

    Characters will move through four eras:

    * Caveman - dominated by unintelligent monsters, primitive wooden weapons and little magic
    * Ancient - dominated by the undead, with metal weapons and the emergence of magic
    * Medieval - dominated by powerful beasts, magical weapons and powerful spells
    * Mystic - dominated by intelligent and mystical beings, advanced magical weapons and deadly magic

    The Pit provides an area where players can duel each other in real time combat. A win in the pit duel results in 20% bonus gold and bonus experience rewards. Death in the pit carries no penalty and still provides standard experience rewards. Challenge someone today!

    Ensure you read the Forum for expert advice. Many experienced players contribute outstanding articles on how to create the near-perfect character.

    Time Hunter

    There are 166655 characters in Time Hunter.

    Jeeze thats alot man, I like old web based, you should try lords of lords, that crap also gets addicting.
    No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you when he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am your enemy from now on. From now on, I am your teacher."

    Uh, oh.... I feel myself getting sucked in...

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    Here's another text based game: Realms of Despair. Dunno much about it yet since I've just started, but it seems pretty interesting. A friend introduced me to it, and she seems to enjoy playing it a lot.
