How Does TriadCity Differ From Other Multi-Player Role-Playing
Games?
TriadCity is for grownups.
While the adventure MUD genre is dominated by kill-the-dragon
style environments intended more or less for teenyboppers,
TriadCity is written by and for adults. This is not meant
to imply that it revolves around sexuality, but rather that
its thematic background and problem sets are not targeted
toward stereotypical teenage males. In particular, Triad
demands a fairly high educational level and some degree of
cultural sophistication which we imagine will be rare among
players younger than about, say, 20. We do not mean that
you have to have a Ph.D. to enjoy the game. We do mean that
the more familiar you are with western fiction, art,
philosophy, religion, politics and history, the more likely you
are to appreciate the fairly rich cultural allusiveness
which is one hallmark of Triad's personality. It also means that
the kinds of conflicts, problems, and other challenges you'll
meet might be better appreciated by grownups. Have no idea what
any of this means? Don't worry about it. Just play and, we
hope, you'll have a fun time.
