Slashdot | Classic MMOG Raised From the Dead by Past Players
from the dumpsters-are-invaluable dept.
"Chromain writes 'Back in 1996, the Seattle-based company Starwave created one of the first graphical MMOGs: Castle Infinity. Though it was well received by all who tried it, it quickly sank under bad marketing, extended downtime, and sloppy leadership. Now, nearly 8 years since disappearing off the map, the game has been (quite literally) rescued from a dumpster by a group of past players. It's available for free at their new website.'"
Unfortunately, the site has been thoroughly Slashdotted, check and see if it's up now. I got to the registration/download page, but since I'm at work, I'll try again at home tonite.
