Please, those memories are suppressed for a very good reason. It's polite not to bring them up.

Oh god

I'M REMEMBERING BUT I DO NOT WANT TO

now i feel dirty

Fuck AOL, I went IRC.

Deapool Network forever!

They aren't all that bad. Well yes they were but we were kids we didn't know what we were doing.

But help me find something Message Board/ IRC based with actual rules or maybe a D&D text based game I can watch or something.

YAR YAR HUMP HUMP!?

Ten years ago, I was nine.

=D

#broken_dagger on irc.starchat.net has a pretty good community for freeform, medieval era RP. Mature community, and it's mostly free of faggotry. Just kinda slow.

You may wanna check it out.

Oh yes. Also: Yahoo has a pretty active, if rather vibrant and sex-crazed community.

www.aelyria.com is the biggest message board based RPG. It is not very good anymore due to Juan (the owner) being a complete douchebag and retconning all the awesomeness out of the setting in order to make way for his extreme faggotry.

But hey, if you want a freeform RPG and you can put up with some serious ego-wankery from the current crop of GMs and the owner it's pretty reasonable.

IRC ftw.

#s-run

They're not only playing Shadowrun there, but also Dark Heresy, WFRP and I believe they were setting up a game of Dark Sun as well. Their website seems to be down at the moment, but why not simply drop by and have a chat with the guys.

www.skotos.net/games
They have pretty good MUDs.

>>4264166

http://www.dndonlinegames.com/

rpol.net is pretty good, I think

>>4264012

Hahahaha... I can't believe someone remembers this. That's how I got my start Roleplaying. Shitty to some degree, but you gotta start somewhere.

Oh man, I remember the shitty characters I had back in those days. Werewolf ninja samurai blood mage, Starfighter Pilot with a Lightsaber that only stuns people (lol nonlethal it's totally original now), and what was literally the Megna Centipede from Megaman X2.

I won't even go into the shitstorm that was my character named "Twisted Soul"

/tg/ IRC rooms

irc.thisisnotatrueending.com #suptg
irc.rizon.net #dungeonooc

I hate you for making me remember Rhy Din.

Oh man, I can remember my characters now. Thinking back, a lot of them were pretty furry, maybe that's one of the reasons why I hate them now?

A cat-boy who wields a massive sword (lol hurp a derp) and constantly uses shitty literary devices to describe how apathetic he is to everything, then in practice ending up like just another moralfagbutstillcool character. Then my "guy who's like a ninja but wears red all the time", used mostly punches, I think it was. Then there was like, my yifftastic piece of crap; some guy who can transform into a cat, but if he wants to he can only transform part way, essentially becoming anthro. I remember a roleplay he was in involved a little girl chasing him around as a cat, only to have a wtf moment when he turned into a furry.

Yiffing did not follow, thankfully.

I also remember once I had a character "MAX", because max is a cool name right, who had BLACK HAIR, is SHY BUT BROODING, EYES THAT CHANGE COLOURS, MORAL FAG BUT STILL FUN, BAGGY WHITE SHIRT BUT WELL FITTING BLACK JEANS. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

In the end, he got to a point where this other Mary Sue character was trying to be meek about a hottub or some shit, because hot tubs were the caviar when it comes to shitty roleplays comprised of people not versed in sex. "no, no hot tube here, *blushes*", and shit like that. She then added me and got access to my profile and found out I was like, 8. So she's all like "EIGHT YEARS OLD!?!@?!@#?@#$%%^^&!!?!?!? I CANT HABEEB IT."

Holy Christ. I remember at one point, a friend and I opened up a shop/tavern sort of establishment, where my character was the sole bouncer.

This would have been a hard task, had I not been a Glitterboy pilot.

Loved that shit.

YOU ARE NOW THINKING ABOUT GUILDS AND "DICE SIZE" AND SPARRING.
You cannot un-think this.

Hey, I just remembered my old character's name. Gonna reuse it.

>>4264401
>Megaman X2
Awesome

Oho... Wow, Talk about talkin' about.

AOL A&E Room...

Vampire hideout

I played a moogle who was a moogle, because I was an unimaginative little fuck. He was the owner and operator of the place, which was something of a bar shrouded in eternal darkness... he didn't fight, for various reasons, but was spry enough to boogie his way out of any situation he found himself in.

God damn, and I thought I was done thinking of this.

Also hung out in a little known corner of the place known as Mogs Realm. But I'd be beyond amazed if anyone recognized THAT one.

It'd be hard to find a "text based RPG" online without any more information than that, but MUD/MUSH/MOOs are pretty fun. I played around with one, Lusternia (no, despite the horribly porn-ish name, there is no sexing) and it was fairly fun.

I killed the shit out of a bunch of goblins or kobolds or something for dorfs. Punched them to death.

Used this wolf race that had a totally awesome innate regeneration. Made awesome monks. RIP AND TEAR AND RIP AND TEAR.

Can't recall why I stopped playing, should go back to sometime. Maybe.

I did that for a little while.

What resulted I sold to WoTC.

For some reason, that Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition game seems pretty familiar to me.

>>4264664
Sparring was good times. And it was actually pretty rewarding if you were able to track down somebody who wasn't an asshole. This was, unfortunately, quite rare. Somebody would invariably stop time or go Super-Saiyan or throw you into the nearest convenient star.

>>4264694
>Mogs Realm
That sounds WAY too familiar. Do you remember a dude with no face, who was armed with a chainsaw with a Magnum revolver welded to it?

I once RP'd on Achaea: Dreams of Divine Lands.

Good place. But I dunno, I just can't make a character that stays there. I always get bored.

Maybe I should try again...

>>4264805
Not really...

I wasn't around all the time though, lemme throw out some names and events or stuff see if any strike a chorde.

Perfodave, EvilMattMUN (ar9matt), mythril moogle, that time Ultros flooded the place and people went on an epic quest to stop him. Zombie shakespear, that time it snowed and there was snow everywhere for a while...

...I'd have more stuff to throw out, but my memory is horrid from that time.

SHIIIIIIIITTTT

i fagged away my middle school on that bullshit. '94'-97

>>4264401
huh. prepare to be amazed, because i remember both those places. never went much, but i do remember them. i mostly hung out at the suicide cliffs, fucking around with the jumpers.

>>4264711
Fuckin' lol'd.

>>4264095

>Deapool Network forever!

What is this, and how do I become a part of it?

>>4264914
Fuck yes, Suicide Cliffs. I'd hang out there as my fire elemental all the time.

Memories.
Memories that I have sometimes tried to repress.

AOL chatrooms.

Vampire Tavern. Not Vampire Tavern 2! Everyone knew that number 1 was the place to be.. mmm.. remember mashing the Enter Room button, hoping someone would leave so you could slip in (most likely to lurk)
Home of the lurker-couch, with free marshmallows for the right people. And Almost everyone "steals a bottle of bludwyne from the bar and stalks to a dark corner to look into the tavern, waiting for prey"*

Place was one big corner.. some kinda fractal stuff there.

*no, I Was NOT one of those pathetic kids who spent the whole time talking about how they got drunk. But I Did hang out with Shadow, Duvessa, Nirae and even Eris, sometimes. Neon hung around too, that nutter.

Good times. Good times. Still have ties with people I met there, now, lets see, eight-ish years later.

Oh.. and Vampire Lake, of course.. which was, I dont know, near the tavern?

Man, I used to rp on Prodigy, thinking it was so far superior to AOL (at the time, it was). First cybersex there, I was like 12.

Anyways, you're looking for a MUD. www.mudconnector.com
Just avoid Achaea or any of the Iron Realms things.

>>4264952
every tavern around was composed mostly of corners. had some lovecraftian geometry in that land.

>>4264694
>>4264893

Holy hell I remember almost all of that. Mogs Realm for the win. Good god, the time I spent in my youth there...

*drowns in nostalgia*

The Yiffing Fields were godtier.

>>4264863
Who'd you play?

>>4264997
We should hang out sometime. I added a name field just cuz.

>>4264951
huh. we probably ran into each other a few times. not that i would remember any of them. hell, i don't even remember most of my characters.

>>4264983

Corners and rafters. Corners and rafters. More layers of wooden beams you could stand in, hide in, fight in.

Holy fuck, I just read that text and had an aneurysm. Thanks, /tg/

I used to RP on some sort of No-Themed chatroom that someone installed on their pages using the ANGELFIRE WYSIWIG editor.

There was a huge mish mash of character types. People from Street Fighter, High Fantasy, Sci Fi. Slayers was just new on TV at the time so lots of people were slayers characters. There was a family of furries too.

At the time I was 13 and the coolest thing to me at the time was Dragon Ball. So that was what my character was. Oddly enough, this was my first experience with cybering other people and it started with what was known as the furry "Den Mother" at the time.


Oh god, the bad memories

>>4265031
right, the rafters. how could i forget? i practically lived there, not like the damn corner-folk.

>>4264951

I got turned into a Vampire at the Suicide Cliffs because someone got mad I pushed their character off after they decided not to jump and called their friends.

ITT People who should be ashamed of themselves.

Anyone remember Urth's Legacy? That shit was way better than RhyDin.

I always sat at the well lit table in the middle of the room.

>>4265068
hehe. i loved pushing people off. so much fun. especially in the middle of their monologues about how life was so terrible, etc...

>>4265071
oh, i do believe we are all ashamed. doesn't mean we can't be nostalgic about it too.

...woah. Way to drag up the past, /tg/.

Though I was a WBS/GO Network guy. Anybody remember Luse?

>>4265071
Don't worry, I'm very ashamed of myself. I look back on the times that I got cyber raped by furries and cry.

I still remember going into the slave baths with a flamethrower and a hazmat suit. Not even sanctified prometheum could redeem that shit, but I still tried. God Emperor have mercy on my wretched daemon-gnawed soul, I tried. ;_;

>>4264968

Why?

I'm curious. The only Iron Realms thing I played was Lusternia and the only thing I thought was bad (in my limited play) was the fact that it made you grind like the hell.

>>4265068

I lol'd.

My friend got me to RP on Furcadia long ago. I didn't even know what a "Furry" or "Yiffing" was but I soon to find out. Hurrrghh

Havent thought of Rhy Din in years, thanks op

>>4265242
Even among furries furcadia is seen as the worst of the worst.

It took me five seconds to realize this is the second worst thing the internet has ever produced.

Alright, time to separate the fags from the superfags.

Rhydin Sparring Ring, bitches.

Who was there, and how long? I was there from the beginning to the BITTER FUCKING END. ...Actually no it's probably still around, but I wised up and got the fuck out at some point when it was boring as hell. ...Then again I'm on 4chan, "wise" may not be the right word. We are all the fags here.

So what are some good MUD's to mess around with?

Remember the Outer Planes?

>>4265020

Who were ya, Mr. MR Anon?

I used to do that one Dueling thing AOL had set up... I think it was just called Arena.

Played a Rogue type, who fought with a Triple Bladed Dagger (technically a trident, but I flavored it as a dagger), named MoS. Made myself fall for some elvish girl, and then dueled her boyfriend to the death after hours in a private duel. Of course everyone came, and even one of the official GMs officiated the fight.

I lost (it was close... he was like 3 levels above me) and in PMs I told him to go ahead and kill me. I took my death like a man, stared him in the eyes, and told him to kill me because the bitch wasn't worth it.

However, for the weeks leading up to this, I had been talking with the Evil necromancer type guildies. We planned a whole ressurection thing out, and I changed my Screen Name from "MstrOfShadows to "SrvtOfShadows", and from then on was a mindless undead shell of my former self, and would only come into the room when one of my masters was present.

Good times.

>>4265029
The only character I specifically remember was a blue dragon. I demonstrated my power to him/her by magically melting a boulder down into an immaculately-carved armchair.

>>4265324
I was a moogle named moogle. I hung out with Rune, and Mythril sometimes.

Anyone else remember OZS? My God that was fuckawful.

>>4265329
Holy shit, it was that rhydin thing, totally found records of my characters

http://arena.rhydin.net/chars/viewchar.php?char=mstrofshdw

I spoke to Maryanne Siembieda once. I asked if Kevin likes to drink Michelob. She said he's a teetotaler. I thought he must have been at least an alcoholic to write the shit he writes.

I used to play a chat-based game based on final fantasy and you could be any race up until FF6 and any class, if I recall, I was a moogle engineer.

>>4265316
Uh, if you have no problem with furries, there's a good Egyptian place on Tapestries...

"Temple of Divinity." Been going since the late nineties, slight hentai theme though it's pretty much the only place on the muck not based entirely on sex.

Or if you like dragons, there's a "sun club" where dragons hang out and talk about their hoards and stuff. Kind of a guilty pleasure.

After those, which are somewhat serious with a light erotic theme, you have the blatantly erotic Prison area and the High School area.

>>4265358

I lurked in the Arena and remember you.....i feel old

I was pretty exclusive to Yahoo chatrooms before it got shut down for massive the massive pedo flood.

My favorite character was the son of the devil named Demi who ruled all of "west hell". It was pretty pathetic. I had my first cyber with a girl who I cybered with almost every night for a month or two until I saw her HUEG whale ass on cam one night and never logged back in.

Did the usual rp stuff like just hanging out in taverns and trying to play bartender whenever I could. Got in fights, dealt with asshole powertrip meta-gamers who somehow found their way to the internet.

All the while doing all of this totally on a 56k dial up connection.

Ahh, those were the days eh boys?

RhyDin Lesbian Inn.

I met my girlfriend on there. I'm a guy.

>>4265385
I don't remember what year that was, but it was probably like 97 or so. Crazy times.

>>4265375
Does it have some combat and things? I like the option of being able to wander off and just slap snakes or whatever monster type things around for a bit.

>>4265426
Tapestries is just a RP only thing

Within 20 minutes of logging on you'll mostly will be yiff-raped by a 8 foot hermaphrodite lion.

>>4265448
That sounds both horrible, Hilarious, and SAN destroying all at the same time.

>>4264012
Dude, that is where I started RPing, hell I still do my freeform/test concepts there, I now use IRC, damn /tg/ its nostalgia tonight!

>>4265426
No game system based combat, it's a MUCK, not a MUD. You have to pose all your attacks.

They have people strictly watching you for powergaming, though, so if you show up and try to join the guards, you're going to have your ass handed to you by the captains in your first spar, no questions asked. Expect to be treated as a level one character when you first join, unless you join as a BBEG or a merc.

Or you get the favor of one of the gods, who are comprised of the oldest and best RPers.

>>4265454
True story

...I can't be the only one who was in the Gundam chats too.

Anyone remember the DBZ ones? Those were like the /b/ of AOL chats. And considering the competition, that's saying something.

ITT: oldfag yiffers

>>4265464
wat

So it's storyteller (so to speak) with no way of tracking how good you are or what level you've reached?

That sounds like the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.

>>4265468
Gundam... fuck nostalgia, fuck

>>4265478
freeform owns for the community, in a weird way you built it yourself...

>>4265448
If you wander around Fox Plaza, yes. Which is unfortunately where you are first deposited.

Here, when you first show up in game, type "t divine" or contact the helpstaff, they're good people.

>>4265478
It's like a Union. The more time you spend online the more "powerful" you are.

>>4265468
I remember those, yes. I made a guy who had all gun-themed energy attacks, and hung out with Nappa.

HIT
HIT
HIT

>>4265484
It sounds like a hap-hazard mess that would result in popularity based winners and losers.

So, High school. With badly designed weapons and armor.

>>4265478
Pretty much. It works though.

MOTHERFUCKING RED DRAGON INN. FUCK YOU OP. THOSE WERE HARD TIMES IN MY LIFE.

No, I think everything got put into perspective for me on the whole Rhy'Din thing when our guild mistress got into an RP situation that got totally out of control, involving a demigod or something raping her, accelerating time to make her have the baby moments later, and then eating or killing it. Never saw her online after that. It was then that I realized everyone was FUCKING INSANE.

Now I play WoW. Lesson was not learned.

I only did sex chats.

Oh JEEZE.

Does anyone remember FFAA's, and what that entailed? Nostalgia!

In AOL chats...I was an Aeris clone who spent her time in the room Seventh Heaven for a very long time. Aeris3752. Went into all sorts of ShinRa rooms, and sometimes into The Forest for shits and giggles. Haha..oh wow.

>>4265201
Essentially the reason you'd avoid a bad DM.
Iron Realms is the company, they contract out ownerships of their code, to ambitious rp'ers with a decent amount of money (a couple dozen grand, several years ago). Then those rpers, not businessmen or anything, run everything (There are a few rules) however they'd like.

You would think that maybe it would be a perfect paradise of rp trickledown or whatever, but instead you get pedodens and furfaglands. And people paying to be a part of them.

I have nothing against furry, but this is the full, blown out type of furry fagdom.

Like all things, they seemed better in the 'older' days.

>>4265524
POWER SLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE

Roll 50 extra d6 damage!

>>4265497
A reasonably mature player will keep his character in check, and generally, characters which are PLAYED well will prosper over time. Most of the time, you get back what you invest in it.

Of course, if you're a cunt, things will suck for you. Don't be a cunt.

>>4265533
I want my eyes to bleed this night.

Link me to this clusterfuck.

>>4264968
Oh God, Achaea was my first MUD. I was like 12 at the time and had JUST gotten a computer.

Something wrong with it now? Last time I played was like two years ago, and all I can remember was Mhaldor running around making a mess of Shallam.

I made a few sues, I recall, but also a few characters with genuinely good depth to them.

Maximilian Ergheiz, a wizard in training with zero skill in anything but spatial manipulation. He carried his house around with him in a small box that wasn't actually there. I later realized he had a Schrodinger's Box kinda thing goin' on. I was 12 when I made him.

Then there was Erik The Red, viking mcOdinson.

And oh god, Michael, a time traveling machine-man sent into orbit around earth. He lands 8,000 years later, finds time control shit, a flaming sword, and angel wings, and pew pew pews all around fighting another friend's sue who was the undying king of vampires/satan.

>>4265539
dunno, last I played was...years and years ago. when ashtan ruled and shadowsnakes were top

I used to be active in all sorts of text RP, but it turned me into a huge snob toward people that try to make their own characters. (Including myself. My first characters were fucking terrible.) Also, I know someone locally who spoke very, very fondly of Rhy Din even though I was never there. Evidently people would occasionally have text-macro wars to see who had the most badass-sounding scripts.

I met a lot of cool people this way. And many, many more not cool people. I wouldn't have passed it up for anything though, those were cool times. I still talk to a lot of those folks. Hell, some of them still roleplay, but I haven't made a new character for jack in years. The really kiddie anime roleplayers only annoyed me when I was, oh, 14, but now they just make me not want to go anywhere near strange MU*s or chat rooms. Also, furry roleplayers are the fucking worst. I met a grand total of maybe three that weren't stupid jackoffs with repulsively uninteresting characters and terrible spelling and roleplaying skills.

I'd imagine the reason most of you are embarrassed is because you probably sucked too back in those days. Guess what? It probably made you better, and you probably shouldn't have stopped if you did.

>>4265535
I believe it's tapestries.fur.net.

>>4265589
It is not sir. I will begin raping Google for results.

>>4265549
This poster here.

The first one I genuinely liked.

The second I actually used for trollan, before I knew what trollan properly was. ("Oh Kyokou, I love you so much!" HOOK'D. "FEAR NOT BROTHER, THE POISONOUS HARPY HAS BEEN DEALT WITH!")

And this was just shit.

>>4265468

Back about eight, ten years ago, Dragon Ball MUDs were fucking everywhere. You could roll up a character, have battles with random people for XP, etc. These were MMOs for people that either didn't like or couldn't afford Everquest and Ultima Online. After the dawn of Adult Swim, Cowboy Bebop and Inuyasha got a few decent sized MU*s too but as far as I know, few if any survive to this day.

You know what else used to have a fucking TON of MU*s? Pokemon. And this was when there were only 151 of the fuckers. Now that the craze came and went I'd bet there aren't nearly as many, but most text roleplay happens on forums now anyway.

Tapestries is a freeform furry sex chat. Do not go there.

>>4265652
What? It looks alright.

>>4265674
Okay, let me rephrase that. Do not go there unless what you are looking for is a furry sex chat.

>>4265684
Ok, let me rephrase that. It looks like a hilarious place to go and troll or just generally cause problems.

>>4265674

Furfag detected.

>>4265375

Oh god. Fucking Tapestries, fuck that place. Never again.

So many terrible, terrible fucking characters. Literally and figuratively. Everyone you'll meet on there is either a paper-thin fox cutout that can only speak 'jibberish' and 'yiffspeak' or an infuriatingly elitist snotrag/fatass philosophy major that busses tables for a living because anything more complicated than wiping human excrement off of placemats and typefucking like they were possessed by the spirits of Shakespeare and Leonardo Da Vinci buttfucking each other is too goddamn complicated for them. Fucking 'burned furs', YOU TOLD ME THEY WERE COOL. THEY WEREN'T COOL AT ALL.

I'll give it this much, though. A trip through Tapestries is like getting a free copy of the 'Horrors of the Internet and Otherworldly Terror: A Primer in Sanity Maintenance'.

>>4265701
See
>>4265701

Also, trolling, have you heard of it?

>>4265725

Yiff in hell, furfag.

>>4265691
They nail your ass pretty quickly for it. Honestly, don't expect much.

>>4265741
You sir, have no brains in your head.

>>4265752

Yeah, I'm supposed to buy three retractions. Fap to more dragons.

>>4265768
Okay! I'll get to that while me and my life-partner share an enjoyable evening discussing art and fur suits.

>>4265775

Cool story bro.

>>4265788
cool story bro

>>4265788
>>4265796
Cool stories, bros.

>>4265800

Interesting tale, sibling.

>>4265347

Those names only vaguely ring bells... Do Don, Vincent, or Nick ring any bells on your end? .

>>4265560
I like to think a lot of the people who said they "quit" have simply moved on to other expressions of the same, distancing themselves from their past but not forgetting it.

...But then, who am I kidding? We here in /tg/ are the same people who denounce furfaggotry on one hand, and then include Sergals and whatever else in the Unified Setting. Logical inconsistency is the Mr. Bubble we bathe in each and every evening.

I like to think I grew a lot in my years (and fuck I mean YEARS) of AOL freeform. It's kinda interesting, when you think about it... here we are, surrounding ourselves with rules, with our Dungeons & Dragons and our White Wolf and so on, and somehow thinking it raises us above the common morass. But when it all comes down to it, if you were decent and the other people were decent (granted, lowered expectations since we ALL sucked back then; I'll freely admit I did my fair share of shitty nonsense and wankery), some really damn good roleplaying could come out of this freeform (or even pseudo-freeform, see: sparring and guilds) stuff, all without anything but 2d20 to set us apart from simple collaborative storytelling.

It's something to think about, next time you pick up those dice. We had stories back then too. Have your stories grown as you did, or have they just been propped up by character sheets full of numbers?

>>4265518

Freaking loved that room.

>>4264968

My first cyber was when I was like... nine. I kept trying to sound sophisticated and had to Google half the words the guy said.

And that, my friends, is where I got my sex education from.

This is why little girls should not be given internets.

>>4265876
It's fun to dream, isn't it?

>>4265876
Radical legend, brah

i played the same character in those for the longest, 8th grade through senior year, an elven cleric who hated the undead and served the godess of fetility by performing marriages, namings of children and births(the last of which was never rp'd but the others were). Nothing really stood out but a hair full of colored beads and a mace that detected the undead. I remember screwing around with people in the vampire rooms about how they were abominations to nature, and basically just talking zombies. That characters was fun as hell, meet some really cool people. He ended up married to a gold dragon who ended up being this really cool older women i met a few times, although we don't talk any more she was very interesting and just a generally nice person. Made up for the sheer amount of Dick cocks i ran into.

>>4265841

I'll be honest with you, I still do freeform online, and it's probably the best roleplaying I've ever had. The local D&D crews are made up of unsavory neckbeards and just aren't fun at all to play with. If I'm going to fritter away hours and hours playing pretend, at least I can do it from the comfort of my telnet terminal where the only body odor I have to worry about is my own and some jackass half-stoned rules lawyer isn't trying to boss me around. Guess what else? You can't just log off of your roleplaying group. Either you stay and tough it out or you're the flake. You fucked up the game, and you never get to play with the obese fifteen year old metalheads ever again.

Wow OP here THANKS for all the suggestions guys. I have been thinking of starting my own though that might be fun. I will definatly post on /tg/ with some ideas and rules.

But on Rhy Din I cant believe how many of you actually remember that Lets see if you remember some of the stuff.

Just yesterday I started playing a Cowboy Bebop MUD called Cowboy Bebop Space Cowboy.

Red Dragon Inn > all.

God, talk about a nostalgia trip.

I don't know what all of your are talking about with this AOL stuff, but I got my start in RPing with a brief stint in some HTML-based chatroom before taking up residence on MSNChat before MSN when "Lulz, we want money; wtf why nobody chat no more?" and proceeded to close down their chat, annihilating one of the greatest hubs of chat RP on the net at the time.

I then wandered the net for a while before finding Oasiz which has it's own MSNChat clone and about eight billion vampire/bdsm/slave RPs, three or four teaparty fantasy RPs. (Things with no action where everyone just sits around drinking tea and boiled goose.) Used to be a decent Harry Potter RP where shit got done and blowed up, but it died at some point.

>>4266875
Oh god, and the fucking vampires. shit was so cash when I first got into chat RPs. then everyone and their inbred cousin started playing either a vampire, or a lvl (72*3)^14 Super Saiyan.

Yes...unfortunately yes.
>>4264046

exactly

Don't stir that shit back up again, I wasted three years of my life obsessing over completely fabricated reality.

fucking...fuck, what a terrible waste

but god damnit I was e-popular, even if I was a mary sue

>>4266930
...Wait. there were people who weren't mary sues?

>>4266936

where I played the mary suedom was suppressed pretty well,

>>4266940
Supressed, or so common they all canceled each other out.

And I'm apparently on the "brown acid" of nostalgia trips now. Because I remember I hit a slump in my RP activity after I left for college. Until I discovered... Gaia Online.

Taking bets now to see if anyone else remembers when it only reeked a little of faggotry, and to see if I can drink myself into forgetting all this before the thread gets sagebombed to hell for me mentioning that.

Hey /tg/, are you a T-1 or T-2'er?

>>4265375

Let me guess... Dreich

>>4267199
Whoa, hey, no, but I know that guy. Good friend of mine.

I don't suppose any of you remembers a guy named Magic Emperor Exdeath or Ghaleon Exdeath or some crap like that? Yeah...that was me. Not really proud of it either. I'd LIKE to think I've matured in roleplaying somewhat, though I think I've only learned how to somewhat lose gracefully.

Try some Steelsings. They've got a private webchat for RP.

Now I see your true nature, /tg/.

You filthy furry Mary Sue vampire angel/demon fanfaggot.

>>4267527
It's all in the past now, I swear! Can't you still love me for who I am now?!

>>4267536
I don't ever want to see that MUD woman here again, you hear me? DON'T YOU EVER SPEAK TO THAT WHORE AGAIN.

/tg/, you disgust me. I thought you were different from them, and now you tell me you were exactly like that.

I...I'm speechless.

Just...don't come to this friday's game anymore, okay? I'll have an NPC replace your character or something.

>>4267547
Fine... Just please, stop yelling? You're starting to scare me...

>>4267590
OFCOURSE I'M YELLING! YOU HUNG AROUND WITH THAT WHORE FOR YEARS, AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME?! I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL!

>>4267580
Please see

>>4267616

>>4267616
The hell is this?

>>4267616
I, I...

>>4267640
We'll get through this together, somehow.

>>4267616
NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>4267616
He has super "run away and hide" power from ducking bullies and lesbian Hellions?

>>4267616

I used to do roleplay chatting as a kid focused around various popular anime shows

silly in retrospect, but it was something to do then, when the internet was still new and exciting and limited.

>>4264203
>#broken_dagger

Please, don't anyone be fooled by this bullshit.

"Mature"? "Mostly free"? You're joking me, right? Full of fucking crazy ass otherkin and self-proclaimed wiccan witches, and ops who will drop you quite a message if you even say anything even slightly offensive. Also, cliques up the fucking ass.

There were only two people worth roleplaying with in the Broken Dagger. One of them doesn't roleplay anymore except with people she knows aren't morons, and the other left a long time ago and hasn't been back.

What's left is laughable. Go somewhere worth something.

Text based RPG or a MUD?

For a MUD, look at Realms of Despair

go north

i don't know how to 'go'

move north

i don't know how to 'move'

walk north

you reach the edge of a stream. there is an inflatable raft

use raft

cannot use raft

inflate raft

i don't know how to 'inflate'

fuck you

i don't know how to 'fuck'

Hey Yahoo Chatters, who else fucked catgirl pink? You know the one.

>>4267805
Ah, I remember that show. I remember the dildo-cobra. That was some twisted shit.

>>4264863
Holy shit I played this too. I always got fucking bored by about level 20 because thats when the game stops being a lighthearted adventure and starts being WRITE THE FUCK DOWN A TEN THOUSAND MILE LONG TRIGGER LIST OR THE SECOND YOU LEAVE THE TOWN YOU ARE GOING TO GET YOUR SHIT WRECKED YOU COCKFAGGOT.
It was fun to play up until then though, and I remember being really proud when I got my first grove. Fuck yeah neutrality, I can turn into a fucking squirrel and steal food from the woods for free, bitches.

>>4267616

Oh criminy.

I got back on to try and get a hold of some of the few good folks I knew IRL back in the day. Now it's all Anita Blake sex-soaked crapfest.

>>4264951
I REMEMBER YOU

>>4265347
Not Rune Eldin, was it? Mixed-blood elven sage sort of guy? I had a character that chilled with him. Crazy Mary Sue werewolf bitch.

>>4265876
This. Me too, except that I was thirteen and not nine. My dad got up at 5 AM for work and yelled at me to get off the computer. Over a decade later, I'm with that guy, lol.

>>4267453
I remember you too, bitch.

I played so many different characters at different points, but the psycho werewolf bitch was my main.

Pic is what I imagine everyone's characters to look like.

CLOWNS.

>>4267770
My problem with that is how hard it is to avoid the disturbing, creepy sexual element there. I mean, you get horny just by looking at somebodies face.

>>4268226
Go idle somewhere unsecure for a reasonable length of time and you'll probably have been raped by the time you get back.

>>4268427
Don't forget the rafters.

>>4265560

Unlike everyone else, I didn't hang out in AOL RP rooms or whatever. Most of my young RP was done on the SWG message board's RP section and on a thread in Bethesda's "Lore" section before the forums got reorganized and a fan-fiction subsection was added for RPers and Fan Fiction writers so we didn't clog up the lore forum.

I *was* fucking terrible at first. But I got better and still keep in touch with most of the folks I played with, and most of them were pretty good and we had good organization so it worked pretty well.

It was a good learning experience and led to me getting more into RPing. Helped kick start my love of RPGs and motivate me to fix my spelling/grammar.

Also was fun, which is the important part.

>>4268021
looking at the thumbnail i saw some kind of tyranid mc-donald.

*converting noises*

I used to roleplay in Yahoo chat's A&E all the time. I was horrible at it, though. I don't think ever won a single fight. But, I had a lot of friends, so it was fun.

And, yeah, I sat in a lot of dark secluded tavern corners.

I remember back when TSR had there own roleplaying chat rooms... shit was cash.

>>4267977
You actually REMEMBER Pyromid or however I'd spelled his name? Crazy madness.

Also of note, Rune Eldin sounds REALLY familiar. Startlingly so. Now I'm positive I hung out in Mogs Realm, but now I'm not so sure as who- it could have been Pyro, and it could have been Red, the aforementioned chainsaw/revolver guy with masochistic blood magic.

Unbefuckinglievable.

>>4265401
Jesus fuck dude. You and me both.
I used to rp a completely normal human hitman who never drank and always sat at the bar. My favorite pastime and the time? Turning down anyone who wanted to cyber with me, on the basis that as a sociopath he had no interest in sex or relationships. Eventually met a girl in a group I rp'd with, seven years almost eight years later we're still together. And "irl" even. God we were faggots.

In a dimension hopping fantasy campaign I'm starting, the non-euclideon bar comprised entirely of corners is now canon.

Thanks /tg/

I first found "roleplaying chat" on some obscure chat program called Pow-wow. There was truth and dare and pole dancing and i was too shy to "pretend along with them." I believe I was 13 at the time.

Fast forward one year and I'm deep in to AOL chat. Rhydin galore. I cannot fully recall the exact process, but AOL chat almost made me a fully fledged furry. Never have so many trite and mary sue catboy characters been created before as in these, the horrid years of free-form chat RPG.

If I went to a bar every night and actually talked to people, it would still probably take me years to match the amount of wasted time I spent emulating this in make-believe in places like the Sylvermoon tavern. Rhydin was bad, Ayanee (Yahoo A&E) was worse.

I STILL have various chat logs of the various catgirls and elven lasses i've cybered. The only solace I have is that some of them may have actually been under-aged girls at the time of their writing (And hey, i was no older than 16 so it's all legal and good. Woot).

I actually met someone I cybered with IRL. Her sister's school had a trip out here to Hawaii and we met up. It was everything my derisive pessimistic mind had thought it up to be: She was fat, uninteresting, somewhat annoying in her attempts to be flirty... I drove her around Oahu and she fell asleep in my damn car. Way to enjoy your vacation.

Free form text rpg is only good for cybering or emo-book worm types. I was elated when I found companions later in highschool and college who roleplayed with rules behind it. AD&D, though not perfect, is still better than the "playing guns as a child, bang you're dead, no i'm not dead, I SHOT YOU FIRST!" style of fighting in chatrooms.

God, Rhy'Din was awful. All the decent RPers were sex-RPers, and at ten-eleven years old, and fucking eight, that shit just wasn't interesting yet. Later on, at eleven-ten fucking years ago now-it was interesting, but I was clueless. Besides-I was fucking eight. I wasn't any good myself.

>>4268296
I refused to fight, at all, ever. I'd ignore you first. You could either let the guy steamroller you or he'd whine about modding. Never failed. If you didn't let him hit every time and didn't let him win, you were modding.

my first experiences roleplaying was in Half life Deathmatch when I was like 11 or something.

Then I moved onto NEOPETS.

I was incredibly shitty.

My first character was a Sonic the Hedgehog OC (I never played the games before, it's just that everyone else refused to RP anything besides sonic)

my second one? a warcraft troll. this was before wow, so it was sorta acceptable to like warcraft. I couldn't type in a jamaican accent, though.

>>4269579
Generally on Furcadia (no, I wasn't a furfag. during my furcadian times i had no idea what a furry was, just we had anthromorphic avatars and that was it), I frequented an area that most of the hardcore furfags avoided. Most of the people there weren't furfags at all - just your typical online tavern roleplayer. The various quasigods that inhabited the most infamous tavern varied from rogue seraphim (six-winged angels with demi-deity powers who no longer have to act nice because they're ROGUE) to ebony horrors (melee-orientated liches with adamantium skeletons) to demon princes.

I'll never forget my early days, when I was still perfecting the art of being an elitist dick. I think I remember playing a rip-off of one of the IWD2 villians - some sort of demon. Anyway, some far more literate guy wandered in, playing a stereotypical farmer. I was bored, so decided to start a barfight and tried to kill him. After all, demon versus farmer, I should win, right?
Wrong.
Since it was freeform, he had all of the right to block each and every one of my attacks, interrupt me while i was magicking and so on and so forth. Eventually, since we were evenly matched, I gave up and my royal demon left in a huff, defeated by a bearded, middle-aged man with a straw hat for armour and a rake for his weapon.

I remember roleplaying in a few sonic the hedgehog rps. I usually tried to avoid those trying to play characters from the games or cartoons. I think I got into a game set in some different part of the planet or something.

And then I lost internet connection for years.

Wait... WAIT. I think I remember a message board system. 'Inside the web' or some shit. Free to make boards. I went to a few. Good times. And then, ITW went belly-up, as many internet companies of the time seemed to do.

I started out in...the Lycos chatrooms, we called it Lycosia or some faggot shit.

When that place was shut down by Lycos pretty much going out of business, there was a mass exodus to the AT&T chat rooms, Attone.

I was a furry then, playing talking wolves and such. Later on I was playing such silly things as chaos angels, retarded werefoxes, and lesbian uber-psions...

Fuckin aye, I loved AOL chats. I never really got into the fantasy medival stuff, I stuck to the 'house party/pool party' RP chats where you basically just lie about who you are and try to act cool enough to talk to the babes. I managed to find one girl and we became internet boyfriend and girlfriend.. Till I caught the bitch in a vampire chat making out with someone. Dumped the bitch. Also, this was in '98 when I was 10. I always lied about my age though.

This shit makes me feel old.

And I'm only 24..

>>4270074
Go on to half of those roleplaying websites with "male" in your profile and you get girls clawing all over you. It's bizarre.

When I was around 9 or 10, I used to role play as a Magikarp in some Pokemon MUCK. It was awesome because it was full of Mewtwos, Mews, legendary pokemon and third level evolutions, but never EVER did I see another user roleplaying as Magikarp. Everyone wanted to be uber cool 1337 /w e-cred. I took the opposite path.

After a while, I managed to weasel my way into using Hyper Beam without pissing off the administrators (they liked me a lot for some reason). It made for some interesting matches.

I had an e-girlfriend who was 35.

We cybered regularly even though she was married and knew I was 15. We got together once, and fucked. Then her husband came home and broke my ribs with a fucking piece of wood he had behind the door or some shit.

Then he found out how old I was. Shit was SO cash. Funnily enough, I never felt like talking to her again after I fucked her.
