I've been selected to create a MOO account and enter this virtual world over the course of the semester. I had to download a program (Savitar) just to be able to use it. And once I entered DiscWorld (the MOO world I chose for my endeavors), wow, did it bring me back. Remember those old computers with the green screens and green text? Yeah, that's what it looks like. Pretty much what it is: an online game, except besides PLAYING the game, you type in what you want to do, what you want others to do, etc. My first time on it, there were 13 other people worldwide on it. It should be quite the experience for me; I'm not a gamer by any means, so this is definitely a new experience. I'm actually quite excited.
DiscWorld is based on an English comic book, in which a flat world is balanced on the backs of four elephants. I know, it sounds pretty normal.
Wish me luck in DiscWorld.
