Just wanted to say hi. I was thinking of the insane bit of anachronism that is TW, and somehow ended up here. I used to play under the name Typhoon.

I don't keep in touch with anyone from this community, but I do hope all you guys are doing well. This holds doubly true if we hung out or were otherwise sympatico ;)

On a less nostalgic note, can anyone tell me what the most active TW sites are these days? That is, assuming there are any... :P

If games are still being held, what is the general format like? Is there a particular custom mod that's popular? Are unlims still all the rage? Are there any well attended casual games? What are the most popular helpers? Waffles or Pancakes?

Welcome back to the addiction that is TW!

I've reset some games on my server, set to open tonight. Casual, classic games. I have settings in place that help returning players get reaquainted with the game without having to worry about playing against aggressive AFK script players (bots).

Beware however, I do have some pretty skilled players, so you should have a good time.

Most players use Swath, or a combination of Swath/TWXProxy/Mombot
Some old school players still play with their own Telix scripts
While others use Zoc.

Fire-up whichever telnet client you're most comfortable with and have some fun!

I choose waffles!

thanks Crunch. appreciate it! I might just check it out :)

please just tell me no one still uses ICQ :P

Also, does every single post on this forum require moderator approval? Does it only apply to new accounts?

Yes, every post has to be approved until your account becomes authorized by an administrator.

Almost nobody anymore as far as I can see. I still have it, I check it mebbe every year out of curiousity. 2 contacts still show green now, rest grey, all ex TW players. Havent sent/recd a message half a dozen years or more.
