I also hear that Titanic folded last week, but that may be just a rumor. NetStorm had some bad problems with security (it saved "character data," which is to say, your island, on your hard drive), and a really cool concept. I did some alpha testing on it. It wouldn't call it mudlike--it was a "build a movable fort, and send it into an arena" game. -Raph -- MUD-Dev: Advancing an unrealised future. </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00716" HREF="msg00716.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: MURKLE: Wot it is</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> J C Lawrence <claw#under,engr.sgi.com></li></ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00645" HREF="msg00645.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: MURKLE: Wot it is</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> "Dr. Cat" <cat#bga,com></li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00651.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: CGDC, a summary</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00652.html">[MUD-Dev] Titanic's demise (was Re: MURKLE: Wot it is)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00709.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: MURKLE: Wot it is</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00645.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: MURKLE: Wot it is</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00643"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00643"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>[MUD-Dev] Re: OT: Java multithreading performance</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00688" HREF="msg00688.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: OT: Java multithreading performance</A></strong>, Jon A.
