So one day I discover Malevolence, a text-based Multi User Dungeon. Having played the Zork games to death, it was real interesting to find a text game that was also an MMORPG. Yes. We all know about these things, but bearing in mind that I was 14 at the time, I thought it was a cool new thing. Anyway, I'm digressing.

The game is different in that, rather than levelling up as you gain exp, you use the exp you have gained to buy skill points to level up your character. There are a multitude of skills, classes and guilds available, with the option to multi-class available should you be good enough to handle it.

The game itself is very tongue in cheek, with some great humour mixed in with some devastating battles. I perosnally remember the first time I encountered an Albino Spider in the game. Probably because I died in about 3 seconds. Um...where was I... Oh yeah. Don't mess with the cops in the game if you are pre level 5 because they will stomp on you. No, that wasn't what I was going to say... Oh yeah! The admin, in my humble opinion, tend to be very fair and nice and tolerate so much without being fascists gimps about things. Shwaine has a sense of humour, of sorts, and is very easygoing. She doesn't suffer fools lightly, but then who does? There was a point to all this, but its escaped my mind. Go look for malevolence and start playing, fool!
