Demise is a direct ripoff of a PLATO network game developed in the late '70's called avatar. The names of things are really the only thing changed. This said i have put the game on my Christmas list and will be setting up a server. The PLATO network is now a commercial education company called Novanet. They still host the old games on non-prime time. 10pm-6am mon-fri and all day sat and sun. Those times are US central (-5 or -6 GMT). You can get the software yo connect at:
Welcome to Avatar .
I was going to reccommend that lovers of RPG's try the game avatar in a post but this is a good spot to plug both Avatar and Demise. Most people play Avatar'84. I run a party of chars most often a thief named Wally Llama. If you try it and I am in the game, p-message me and I will help you out.
The game is mostly played by old guys like me but my son plays sometimes and he likes it ok. There is no player killing and people help each other with the quests and with rescues when the monsters win.
