I created my first character on ATS in '99, and have never quite been able to shake my addiction for the place. Between the extremely immersive environment and the great people I've met, it's something I can never get away from.

Many years of hard work and dedication have gone into making ATS THE BEST text based environment i've ever played in. The community is full of terrific RPers, the admin staff is the most down to earth(no pun intended) of any MUD, MUSH, or MOO, I've ever pointed my client to.

There aren't many downsides to ATS, once you find your place, figure out where you are most comfortable, and start developing a character the sky is the limit. And one of the big pluses in my opinion is a tremendous amount of Star Trek knowledge is not really neccesary.

We've gone from one extreme to another on ATS, wars, peace, terrorism, assasinations, love, marriage, children, parties, you name it, it happens here. If you are finding your text based gaming rather lackluster, and unsatisfying....you now know where to gain back that enjoyment.
