Young me would be livid playing this game.
Dark Ages launched back in 1999 and has so much depth: player-run politics, real roleplay, permadeath for high-ranking characters, and a lore-rich world that feels genuinely alive.
Crazy to think this was happening before most people even touched their first MMO. Anyone else remember this gem or played it back in the day?

I just watched this video about an hour ago.
Absolutely fantastic.
Ah, the sweet nostalgia of pixels and low frame rates, wouldn’t trade it for anything.
And here I thought this was about Dark Age of Camelot, which was a pretty good MMORPG before WoW blew up.
Not to burst your bubble, but MUD’s (text based MMORPG’s) have been around since the late 70’s. I used to play DikuMud at University in 1991
