Information About

Dragon's Gate




Dragon's Gate is a text-based multi user online fantasy role-playing game, sometimes referred to as a MUD . It is one of the longer running pay-for-play online games in the world, having opened in the early 1990s, and has been available on GEnie , AOL , and currently Mythic Realms. ''Dragon's Gate'' is an interactive, real time, fantasy roleplaying game. Each player creates a character and assumes the identity of that character while participating. Role-playing allows interaction between player characters (PCs) and non-player characters (NPCs in the form of computer controlled monsters, merchants, etc.), within a land, which runs in a real-time framework, allowing for an immersive experience.

At its creation, the core of ''Dragon's Gate'' was based on the AUSI -entitled game ''Aradath'', which was designed in 1985 by Mark Jacobs. Jacobs, along with partner Rob Denton, later formed a company in 1995 called Interworld Productions, which in 1997 was re-named as Mythic Entertainment . Mythic is currently best known for the MMORPG '' Dark Age Of Camelot ''.
