I think this may be the only time I ever saw people saying they liked Dust514! I thought consensus was that it was bad.

But I think I only ever played a beta and didn't have strong feelings either way...

it was good in theory but had so many bizarre mis-steps that you really only got into it if you *really* got into it and pubstomped like mad. There is a reason why it died.

Still one of my greatest gaming disappointments.

I found this Wired article back when Google still worked looking up darker stuff about MUD, Warcraft, Second Life harassment

it's just a prank, bro

some truly grim quotes by Lowtax within

I wonder how those three EVE goons are doing?

This being a time capsule to a different age is fun but it also sounds like it was written by an alien. It also seems to make the common mistake of thinking that a "$10,000 spaceship" means that the owner actually paid ten grand directly to make it, which isn't how that works.

Griefing people's stuff is lame, especially when it's their own space that they created for their own enjoyment. That said, it's almost quaint to hear about people griefing digital slumlords and presidential candidates rather than what happens today, ie finding some random powerless person and making their lives hell 24/7 until they commit suicide.

Oh don't worry, they did plenty of that back in the day too.

Oh sure, just off the top of my head there is a reason why Christine Chandler is the way that she is. But at least it wasn't the *only* thing they did
