[FADE IN: Posh living room decorated in 19th century fashion. LORD STIFFLEBOTTOM is seated in a position of prominence with OTHER GUESTS sitting around him as they drink tea. A BUTLER comes in and delivers a gilded envelope which LORD STIFFLEBOTTOM opens. ]
Lord Stifflebottom: (reading) Hmmph. It seems I have contracted the pox.
Lady Susan Butterbiscuit: Oh dear, how very unfortunate.
Lord Stifflebottom: Indeed.
Butler: Should I search the group finder for a physician, Sir?
Lord Stifflebottom: No need old chap, this missive is from the only one in the game.
Baron Blutherington (in a thick, nearly incomprehensible accent): Be Jove then ahs fairs tis gone beh loights aught fer they then, eh Guvner?
Lord Stifflebottom: Yes yes, would seem so.
[ Lady Susan Butterbiscuit stands and promptly faints from her corset. The Butler catches her. PASTOR GOODLYBUM enters the room.]
Pastor Goodlybum (to Butler): Is she all right then?
Butler: Indeed, suh. She purchased the Fainting Emote last week, no need for concern.
Lady Susan Butterbiscuit (not opening eyes): I very well plan to use it, too!
Lord Stifflebottom: Hmmph. Apparently. Even at the cost of decorum it would seem.
[Everyone gasps in shock at the insult]
Lady Susan Butterbiscuit: I never!
Lord Stifflebottom: I beg your forgiveness. This whole dying from the pox business has ill affected one of my four humors I fear.
Butler: Should I send a messenger for the undertaker, Sir?
Lord Stifflebottom: Yes old man, I think that would be prudent.
[Butler leaves, dragging Lady Susan Butterbiscuit out with him]
Pastor Goodlybum: Shall we pray, my Lord?
Baron Blutherington: Ih seems ta mah tha' wots needed is ah strong dose o' tha spirits, verily, buh naught th' kind ye be callin' upon der Pastor!
Lord Stifflebottom (to Pastor): Did you roll Catholic or Anglican?
Pastor Goodlybum: Does it matter?
Lord Stifflebottom: Very much so, yes.
Pastor Goodlybum: I must confess to being a papist, my Lord.
Lord Stifflebottom: Hmmmph!
[Awkward silence. Everyone sips tea. The Butler comes back in.]
Butler: Are you dead yet, Sir?
Lord Stifflebottom: Not quite I'm afraid.
Butler: Will that be all then Sir?
Lord Stifflebottom: Yes, yes, thank you.
Butler: I'll be leveling up my Dusting if you need me then.
[Butler exits.]
[FADE OUT as members of the party sip tea, a sense of impropriety hanging heavy in the air.]
The character is extremely slow moving and you only have a first person view.
It was fun playing this however because you could explore and find all those typical alpha bugs.
I remember you could run into a wall on the opposite site of the street and inside the wall would be a woman which was kind of creepy lol
If you took your time and wandered 20 minutes in the same direction you would actually find the end of the world and you could jump off which would make your character fall slowly and indefinitely.
I checked again recently but from what I can tell this game suffered a similar fate as the ambitious Venus Rising. There are little to no updates and if you want to get into the alpha you will have to pay - overall the forum seemed pretty silent.
It's a shame really as this game provided a new experience.. though not a very manly one so I wouldn't brag to my gamer friends that I raised my reputation enough to have tea with the noble lady from next door...
I would love to see a virtual world with an up-to-date game like Second Life (I've never played it but I've watched a couple of vids) where you could do all kinds of stuff besides kill (although it would be cool even if there were some certain zones ("dangerous" parts of town) where you might have some risky behavior with consequences.
Not just for erp either, but with markets for people who like trading, building, design, all kinds of player creations, etc.
And LOVE @Sassy_Gay_Unicorn

Jane Austen, Dickens and the Bronte Sisters are also some of my favorite authors of the period with Wuthering Heights being one of my all time favorite books.
All of that being said, I can't really see myself playing a game based purely around their writings. I enjoy those works of literature a great deal, but role playing in that setting without some kind of supernatural kicker to give it excitement would be a bit droll.
You scullion i'll tickle your catastrophe! xD
That would actually make it really interesting and add some combat gameplay. One night you party at the ball, the next you go out in the wilderness and slay the evil zombie faction trying to take over England.
When you don't want the truth, you will make up your own truth.
Boy: Why can't I talk to Him?
Mom: We don't talk to Priests.
As if it could exist, without being payed for.
F2P means you get what you paid for. Pay nothing, get nothing.
Even telemarketers wouldn't think that.
It costs money to play. Therefore P2W.
It's an interesting idea. A bit clunky, but peeps always seek something "new", and it definitely is something new

Kyleran: "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."
John Henry Newman: "A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault."
FreddyNoNose: "A good game needs no defense; a bad game has no defense." "Easily digested content is just as easily forgotten."
LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"
