I'm still playing text based MegaMud
I used to play MUDs myself, but even there the technology progressed. The last time I went to play on one of my favorites, you couldn’t keep up in the pvp unless you had a special keyboard with lots of programmable buttons to bind your commands to, loads of custom triggers and scripts, and an automapper program.
Even with all that, the guys who kept playing consistently for 30 years just have everything down to second nature by now, so you can’t compete with them.
