Ah, world of text. Last year I started a journey in the /jp world.

Two full days (some 20 hours) scrolling north, leaving messages and drawings along the way. I have met other people in only one occasion, the rest of the time I was alone with the messages and drawings left by other adventurers.

Energy surges made their toll one time or two, but I still managed to get to x0y2000. I felt enlightened. It was the most spiritual thing I've ever experienced.

Its minimalist approach and absolute freedom makes it one of the best "games" I've played. I strongly recommend trying it at least once.

And if you ever scroll north in http://www.yourworldoftext.com/jp, look for the messages from The Bard ♫ ;)
