Have you ever played LORD, the online Text based Door game for old BBS systems?
We need an online PHP version of this game, or a total 100% ripoff of said game. I will find a link to a telnet server you can use to check out the game sometime, if there is still an active telnet and we'll see if we can work it out.
I used to mod LORD and it was no joke coding wise, but the game is going to be pretty damn simple to replicate.
