In Reply to: number of players on cf affected by other games? posted by Niblaznacker on December 28, 1999 at 12:00:10:

I think they are 2 different things... text muds vs. graphical online games. It's kind of like watching television vs. reading a book. You can pump up the special effects, et al, but it's harder to get the depth of characters and spark the imagination of the player when you're limited to what can be displayed on screen. YMMV.
