why PBeM and not Ultima or Everquest? From: guy_debord@my-deja.com Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2000 06:38:39 +0000 Hey all, I'm writing an article for a gaming 'zine about a company that wants to do multiple platforms/versions of their RPG concept (i.e. web based, palm/gameboy, client-server etc). What makes the PBeM experience work for you guys? Is it just about limitations in connectivity? Or is there something 'more' exciting about the experience of a PBeM compared to a server moderated real-time game like Everquest? I'm trying to understand the "experience" from a players perspective, and I'm curious to hear your ideas on why this form of gaming is so persistently popular.
