I'm such a geek. I was thinking about an old MUD that I used to play on AOL about 10 years ago called Federation. Way back when it was free and all. It was neat. I had my ship and I ran a good cargo service. Bought my own planet, hung out on Mars in Diesel's Cafe and even got married online while Jimmy Buffet played in the background (which meant someone was typing the lyrics).
A few months after I was fully into it it was announced that Federation would be moving off of AOL and would start charging. I played to the very end of it's free run and then went on to play other free MUD's including the one that our Honors group ran in college. (where else could I have been the Goddess of Theives?)
Over the years I dropped in to check out the Federation website and always sighed when I saw the subscription price.
Out of curiosity today I did a search for it and found the page again.
It's free once again. You can pay money and get extra stuff but the regular stuff that I used to do 10 years ago is free.
I'm so signing back up once I get home. *laughs*
