I'm sure many people here have played MUDs in their life, maybe wrote areas for some, were Gods in some, led a clan, met someone from there in person...etc.......I know that for me, Muds provided a way of acceptance, and a way for many of my friends in high school and I, to do something that was self-competitive, and did not rely on superficial looks, popularity, etc...all things we were never good at. But at a price, obviously......we all became addicted to it...I personally spent 12 hours a day at one point, skipping high school to go Mud in the library.....etc...does anyone else remember having a similiar experience........and feeling something akin to withdrawal when you're unable to get to a computer to 'Check who'se on'....... I know I did, on family trips, social gatherings.....etc....I wanted to be at home playing.....anyone else have something akin to 'an addiction', with withdrawal symptoms to boot.
