Thanks for the reply! I'm not a member of Reddit (and am reluctant to join any more general-purpose social sites like that, because I struggle a lot not to waste loads of time on them!)
I misunderstood what you were saying first of all and t…
Sirmatthias: Underlight actually IS a 1990s game, I said so! (Or didn't I? edit: no, actually, I didn't, not there, I've been trying to keep it short because I do far too much off-topic nattering about Underlight.)
Solar_Prophet: Nah it's not Bui…
This sounds astonishing. (Very clever solution, dividing up instances on the fly.)
If this works, I can imagine this game actually having practical use, as well as being fascinating to play - researchers could visit to investigate different ways o…
Check first that the game does meet MMORPG.com's requirements: http://www.mmorpg.com/faq.cfm/showFaq/4/I-think-there-is-a-game-that-needs-to-be-added-to-your-list-How-do-I-submit-this.html

Just dropped by and realised that it's UP! Thank you very much, site staff. Just in the very nick of time for the big new patch release tonight, it turns out!
At least so sayeth the IRC channel:
Koi-Wish 18:58 You can anticipate at max side 2hrs …
Exactly! :-D In the meantime, if you're curious (and if that's serious rather than a comment on Underlight's size) look here https://underlight.com/ or search this site, it's discussed here every now and again. Come to that, you posted in my th…
Any word on this? Underlight are just about to launch a big update, see, (support for Windows 10 and a big ongoing story, with an invasion of the Dream City), and are optimistically saying they hope to get a big influx of new players, and I feel ba…
I did not say any such thing. Your grumble-postings radar has got a bit too sensitive. (just seen this) (So anyone that sees this, don't be put off, actually have a proper look at the original posting! :-D )
In fact, the main reason I poste…
I don't know, I'm not really sure what you mean by that - I've never played WoW. Do you mean that that's not really "massively multiplayer" because it's just the 25 of them in a private instance by themselves? (just guessing). Or what?
It seem…
Mabinogi's fishing system is fun, at least I find it fun. It's a minigame of its own - when you get a "bite", a button appears to start the minigame. The fish splashes about, changing direction randomly, and you have to keep pulling it in so that …
I'd thought that the definition of an MMORPG was any massively-multiplayer online game that was an "RPG" in the technical sense, i.e. you have a character that you can custom-build to some extent and equip and level up over time. (That seems to be …
I sometimes wonder if something similar to the reason people think "furries" are creepy has happened with MMO roleplay - i.e. because there are people who do ERP, some people have the mistaken impression that all MMO roleplaying is about sex!
Oh no it ain't. Underlight aces most of them, and it's a fascinating and fun game, so that's my nomination. And here was me thinking, when I saw the thread title, that it probably didn't count as a "true MMORPG"... in fact it fits them better than…
Underlight: Shades of Truth has now become Underlight: Clash of Dreams and has changed its URL to www.underlight.com. Thriving at the moment, which, the nature of the game being what it is, means it's particularly fun to play at the moment, as ther…

No role players creep me out. Moment they start referring to themselves in third person in whispers and start emoting....i run in opposite direction as fast i can.
Reason for that is they're NOT referring to themselves, t…
NWN on AOL and Shadows of Yserbius as well as Underlight (mentioned above) were non text MMO's. Again, out before M59 as those of us simply referred to it as at that time. They were great games. Better sadly than most modern games which could learn …
Since my last posting I've found out that if you really want all the RP you can handle, the thing is to join a fleet. Not all of them, mind you - most of them are just people joining forces to blast things, which is fine if that's what you want - bu…
Took me until Lt 13 or so. Wasn't sure where it came from, but I think it was one of the Klingon Front missions - I'm up to "Task Force Hippocrates" now so it musta been before that. Not a lockbox, because I've never opened any.
Once you have a t…
I've come across those two. "Distress Signal"'s a little bit specialised; the couple of "signals" I've sent before have been a simple matter of "help, more Orions than I can deal with here". But I dare say I can think of something better than that…
Nope, tried it and it no longer works. (Unless not having done the Fleet Actions made a difference? But I got the "Stop the Signal" mission all right without anything being said about them.) Pity, but what I really had in mind was an ex-Borg Klin…
