&gt; Subject: Re: [MUD-Dev] MUD timeline 
&gt; 
&gt; &gt;*    Dragon's Gate (a revised and renamed Aradath) launches on GEnie.
&gt; 
&gt; Actually, Dragon's Gate launched on GEnie in 1990, written by 
&gt; Mark Jacobs
&gt; and Darrin Hyrup (AUSI).

Was it in fact a revised/remake of Aradath, or was it its own thing?

&gt; Under 1989 add:
&gt; 
&gt; Simutronics launches Orb Wars on GEnie.

Out of all the Simutronics games, this is the one I know absolutely nothing
about. Any details?

&gt; Under 1996 add:
&gt; 
&gt; Splatterball (the first 3D graphical MMPG?) published by Engage (from
&gt; Interworld Productions -- soon to be Mythic Entertainment)

Dunno if it's first. AlphaWorld almost certainly predates it, and Meridian
59 *may* also depending on the month.

&gt; Under 2000 add:
&gt; 
&gt; Dark Age of Camelot (a large-scale graphical MMPG) announced by Mythic
&gt; Entertainment.

No fair, you had JUST announced when I started gathering the info for the
timeline. ;) I am looking forward to seeing this at GDC. You gonna be there,
able to show it to me?

&gt; There are several other published Mythic-made MMPGs I left out
&gt; (Magestorm-97, Darkness Falls-97, Aliens Online-98, 
&gt; Godzilla-98, Starship
&gt; Troopers-98, Silent Death-99, Darkness Falls: Crusade-99, 
&gt; Spellbinder-99 --
&gt; most of which run on Gamestorm or AOL), but they weren't really ground
&gt; breaking so I didn't add them.  If you want them, I can give 
&gt; more details.

Yeah, I want to stick to the groundbreaking stuff, unless it's useful for
showing "design lines" or the movment of key people or innovators from place
to place.
