So you’ve heard about text-based RPGs, and you want to know more. Read on, and discover the history, attraction and how text based MMORPGs continue to rule and have evolved over the years. Many years ago, before computers had graphical abilities, text-based MMORPGs were run on university networks over super weak dial-up connections. Best known as multi user dungeons (MUDs), many of these text-based MMORPGs have been adapted to run online using a MUD client, or most recently, a web browser. A poor internet connection has very little affect on playability, and can also handle large numbers of users, often referred to as Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG). This is largely due to the fact that most text-based web games do not have graphics. A hidden bonus to text-based browser games is the ability to play them on, pretty much, any computer connected to the Internet, due to their low system requirements compared to graphical games. People are now playing them on modern handheld devices and cell phones. Every text based RPG worth its salt will have the power to create a virtual character, improve their skills, health, wealth, items, status etc, and complete tasks in the game. With a huge increase of new browser games popping-up over the last 3 years, competition is stiff, expectations are much, much higher and developing a successful text based browser game involves time, effort, regular feature updates and lots of caffeine. Great text rpg games are addictive and retain loyal players for months, and sometimes, years. Facebook, the social media giant, observed the attraction in text based RPGs and launched Farmville, Mafia Wars and Frontierville, created by Zynga. Although much more graphical than the original text based mmorpg games, the game play is almost identical to the majority of other text based mmorpg games. If you fancy giving text-based gaming a try, why not start with Torn, Farmville or SimRocker.

Great text web games are addictive and retain loyal players for many months or years.
Facebook, the social media giant, saw the attraction in text based games and launched Farmville, Mafia Wars and Frontierville, produced by Zynga.
