Were you playing muds in the 90s?

Do you remember Illusia?

Did you happen to get in on the Alpha test of the Graphical Mud "The Highlands"?

That was the game that I created. I built the client, my wife and friends built content and we had a team of gods who ran around fixing the world. Another guy dealt with the server but I hosted the game server at my house in NJ! We were using Smaugwiz as a placeholder for the Alpha test.

We had 1500 folks in on the Alpha test and the server crashed frequently. About 3 months later, Everquest launched. We started playing that, lol.
