Just thought I'd let y'all know about this in case you're interested (if you're not, that's always cool too!)

That video pretty much sums it up (though it's a bit shrunken there; it's at full-size on the site, psycrow.chatserve.com). 10 years ago I started this free server for RPG fans, made a living off it for a few years even (though now I just pay to run it). It's called Balamb Garden, and was started on this visual chat software called The Palace which lets you move around in rooms, change your appearance, etc. I started making quests and other games for it, the biggest being this battle game called The Colosseum in which you can play 240+ characters in battles up to 5v5, and making characters for people was how I was making a living off it for a few years. The other two main features are The Card Game, and The RPG (both original games).
Since I finished what I mainly wanted to do for "Balamb Garden 1.0", I've gathered my operators and am startin' to let people know about it. The population's a little on the low side right now, but we're shooting for a population always in the triple-digits. Every Saturday night this month at 7:00pm CST, we're having n00bfests (group training for newbies). Britt from The Speed Gamers was at the last one-- a group of gamers who do marathons for charity, and have been on & in the news a few times-- and y'all are definitely welcome to come in for Saturday's n00bfest, or at any other time, and welcome to bring any of your friends as well.
Maybe I'll see you around!

    I have to say that that was one of the most atrociously made ads for a game I've seen.

    I watched two minutes of it and I'm not sure what it is and why you would want to play it. Thats not to say its a bad game, but I certainly don't really care to find out after that video.
