Tales From A Forgotten Tavern (MAGS)

TALES FROM A FORGOTTEN TAVERN



Dark Ages of EverCraft was the most popular MMORPG of its day. But that day was more than twenty years ago. It has long been eclipsed by other, newer, more popular games. Now the once teeming masses of its online population of players has dwindled down to almost nothing. No NPC in the game has seen a true "newbie" for years uncounted. But this evening, on the last remaining server still providing access to the old game, a level one character has stumbled out of the Newbie Garden, battered and exhausted, seeking a place to rest in a forgotten tavern on an untraveled road.

What awaits her inside?

This game was made for MAGS, July 2023. Theme: last One. Chosen by: 4KbShort.


I'll be honest, this MAGS theme really inspired me. I can't remember the last time I was so excited to work on a MAGS game. For about three years (1999 - 2002), I spent way too much time in Everquest. It's the only MMORPG I've ever played, but I enjoyed the hell out of it back in the day. This game is my gushing tribute to my gaming experiences during a time when I was much younger and a lot more carefree. It's packed with references to the world of the late 90s / early 2000s. It's probably safe to say that many of the jokes in this game will fly right over the head of a lot of the younger AGSers.


Fun Fact: When I finally quit Everquest (just as the Planes of Power expansion pack was coming out), I decided I'd make better use of my free time making my own games instead. Within a year, I had discovered AGS (version 2.56d) and made my first Barn Runner game.

Adventure! Treachery! Nostalgia! FOUR different player character outfits, technically! Truly an epic tale for the ages.

The best part of EverQuest was finding new clothes gear for your dolls characters.
