About Epitaph
The theme of Epitaph is one of survival horror. It is set in the very near future in a world devastated by a rampaging virus that turns anyone it infects into a ravenous, hungry automaton hungry for human flesh. Against this deadly backdrop, you and your fellow players struggle for survival against a hostile and murderous world.
We're based on FluffOS, running a distribution Discworld mudlib. Development started 21st of December, 2009. We're currently open for our first period of closed beta-testing, but are not soliciting new PTs at this time. Sign up to the mailing list for updates when we enter open testing!
Disclaimer
As a result of the theme of our game, the environment in which you adventure is sometimes almost unbearably unpleasant. Rather than sanitise the game theme, we've chosen to let it all hang out. If you are easily offended, Epitaph is not a game for you. Please, don't even give it a try if you are of a sensitive disposition... while we're not developing the thing for shocks, we also take the integrity of the setting seriously.
What is A Text MMO?
You know games like Warcraft and Guild Wars? They're a bit like that. However, whereas those games are graphical, a text MMO is played in text. It's like reading a novel rather than watching a movie. Text MMOs tend to have much more literate gamers than other such games, so if you are looking for intelligence and coherence in your fellow players it may well be your cup of tea.
