So, I'm trying to spread the word and get more people logging on regularly.

http://innrevival.googlepages.com/

"Getting On-Line" has the two ver' ver' small things you need to download (and if you already have a recent dosbox, well, you just need the INN client).

Right now pretty much everything works. Twinion and Cawdor are maybe going to go up early November, from my talk with the dev, but Yserbius runs just fine. Think pretty much all the parlor games are working in Clubhouse and SierraLand, also, including Red Baron.

My Yserbius character I'm playing the most right now is "Wee Jock" (gnome thief), and I'm sometimes hanging around in SierraLand or Clubhouse as nunix. Drop in! Tell your friends! Et cetera et cetera~

Small update:

Twinion and Cawdor are up and running.

Community's coming together and there are some semi-regular gaming nights on Wednesday and Saturday in SierraLand.

Connection can be a little iffy (it looks like ISPs that do traffic-shaping cause issues with connecting to the client) but it's up most of the time, so sidle on by and give it a look. ^_^

You know, when making a topic about a game, it is generally accepted that you need to actually tell us what it is before babbling on about stuff that non-players don't understand.

SPAM!

[Fenrir]

It doesn't look like he's a spam bot. Since this is the "Other Games" section and he's only posted one topic, I don't think this qualifies as spam yet.

Why didn't you use something that people who aren't cavemen use?

[nunix]

Er, no, it's not spam. Or not intentional spam, in any case. =p Main people interested in it so far have been folk who used it before, so I hadn't been diligent in advertising/selling it to new users. Anyway: ImagiNation Network.

Early 90s gaming network. Think something like Yahoo Games setup, except you were dialing into a dedicated system for all of that, instead of just opening more web pages.

Torak: not sure what you're getting at? It's an ancient caveman DOS program. Source code isn't available, so some reverse-engineering tricks are getting it to run (or so I understand, I'm not the coder). Unless you mean there's something out there better than DOSbox, which I'd love to hear about. =p

no, I'm pretty sure he means the INN. there's tons of stuff that's just like it (well similar anyway) and works just fine with the newest OSes. I can see why it would be fun to do some reverse engineering on a DOS system to see how it was done and such, but unless there's people who used the original network, I don't think there'd be much demand for it.

OH MY GOD I REMEMBER THE ADS FOR THAT I WANTED TO PLAY YSERBIUS SO BADLY A DECADE AND A HALF AGO.

You bet your ass I'm sold on this game.

Yserbius does look pretty hawt, I looked it up on Wikipedia.  We should start a DF guild.
