We were on Techtv recently! Here's a transcript of the approximately 90
seconds they spent talking about us (including screenshots and such.
Lothariel is famous!).

Now here is Leo [Laporte] with another tip.

Hi guys, I'm here to tell you about the future of gaming: text!

I can't stop playing this game, it's called Achaea. It is a mud, a text
based adventure, online though. Massively multiplayer online games are
all the rage, but most of the time it's graphical. This is an RPG that
harkens back to the good old days and it is immensely popular, a huge
world with the Underworld and all sorts of characters and people in
there. There's 500 people in there right now.

Should we enter? Should we enter Achaea? You see, it's text-based. This
is a java client, which is nice, it makes it very easy, you have macros,
you can travel around. I'm going to get a little tour of achaea right
now so we can see all the people that are standing around here right
now. I can talk to them, I can have fun with them. I've created a
character called Archeopteron [we changed his name since so he doesn't
get pestered]. Stop by and say 'hi!'

Text based adventures are very hot, because your mind is the best
graphics engine of all. It feels very real. I know people who spend
hours in Achaea. Now, an interesting thing happened recently. The
developers of Achaea created a highly addictive drug called 'gleam.' And
people took the drug without realizing it was addictive. Characters were
getting sick, going through withdrawl, some were even dying! And that's
a serious thing if you're a troll with 800 xp points that kicks off
because you were taking gleam. In many ways, it's a very real world and
very fascinating.

I don't know if you've ever played text adventures, I know I cut my
teeth on them. If you haven't, maybe even you young un's want to try
this one. Achaea: A C H A E A. It's free, works on all platforms, has a
java client, makes it very easy to play. But watch out....Achaea is
addictive!
