Jeff,
  Go to www.pbm.com for all the info about the game.  I've been
playing since turn 1 and have very much enjoyed the game.  You can go
and do just about whatever you want.  Want to be a mage?  Plenty of
spells to be learned and used.  Want to quest for monsters?  Get a big
band of soldiers or beasts and march up to the nearest lair or explore
and find a hidden one. It's the sheer variety of what you can do that
attracted me to the game.
  You can change your focus in midstream.  You can go from being a
mage to a beastmaster to a trader with just a little investment in the
time it takes to learn the skills. Between the Times and the mailing
list, there is a healthy dose of diplomacy for any one who wishes to
indulge in that sort of thing.  If you like to explore the unknown,
then Olympia is definately the game for you.  This game is BIG.  Not
only do you get to explore the surface world, there's an underworld,
cloudlands, hades, and faery land.
  No one person can do it all either.  Various alliances have sprouted
up since the beginning of the game to help and support their members.
The game is even more fun when you have a group of people to share
your trails and tribulations with.  You can go it alone, but you'll
get even more out of the game working with other people.
  Check out pbm.com and the links to the other players pages.  This
will give you an idea of what people are doing and what's been
happening lately in the game.  I hope you decide to join up, I think
you'll be pleased with the results.

Tom
