I have worked on an off on a MOO based text VR called
cyberdreams. I wanted it to be more than a standard
MUD, MOO or text adventure. Aside from being inspired
by text adventures I have always had a soft spot for 
the mid 90's adventure games. Not really the point and
click adventures but more of the first person
'photo-realistic' (as the term was) such as Myst, Scratches
Riven, Lighthouse. Amid all the gloss and UI you could
see the bare mechanics behind how it all worked and could
easily imagine doing the exact same thing in a textual 
setting. 

What really sparked my imagination was a reinterpretation
of MYST using the LambdaMOO database and server. It was
the entire game all described in text, ever item, every
storyline. I played through it just as I had the original
game and found almost nothing to me left wanting despite 
the absence of graphics. What was much different was that
and contrasting: this being based in MOO, other players 
were present. 

The very thing I enjoy about the graphical adventure gamestyle, 
the thick solitary atmosphere no pressure and forgiving
game mechanics were made better with the addition of people.
There was alot of care put into making the puzzles work in
a way that multiple people could solve them together or
so single visitors could do it.

I wanted to capture this in my game while adding a dash of
graphics that weren't intended to be the main focus of the
game. Using some free time I had I FINALLY finished the 
web based client. This has been years in the making as I
kept putting off actually doing it myself and instead
attempted to raid Github or any old website for implementations
of online MOO/MUD Clients. Lots of long nights were spent
digging through sparse and archaic documentation only to
find some plugin that doesn't exist or changes in www/html
security that invalidate being able to move forward. It was
a little depressing because in my experimentation I was 
only further confronted with the reality that the Internet
I knew doesn't exist and just as with the changing physical
landscape around me as I get older, things get old, break
and disapear to memory.

I will type more about my client in another document.
