The product of three exhausting and exhilarating years of labor by a team of roughly 15 people who didn’t know enough to be daunted by the task they undertook, Baldur’s Gate was a genre-stretching, disc-space-testing hybrid that broke new narrative, technical, and gameplay ground and established the identity of one of the past two decades’ most storied studios. “It just redefined expectations of what a role-playing game could be,” Oster says. “I think it really relaunched the whole concept of what a Western RPG is.”
Was Baldur's Gate that important, or just a reprise of Ultima?

TES3MP is a multiplayer fork of openmw (open engine for The elder scrolls 3 morrowind) .

I logged into a server for the first time yesterday to find christmas trees. Seems to be functional enough, I went on a quest with a random stranger. An admin showed up and fed me an "elf on the shelf" potion which shrank me and led to much hilarity.

I saw it mentioned on the OpenMW wikipedia and then watched some footage on YouTube earlier today. Except it was just a partial playthrough of the main quest. Sounds like it can get much more wild.

Within the first few hours there were miniature nekkid fist fights(between serious questing). Admins seem responsive though, and the server browser etc, works fine. I'm running a 1.2ghz dual core laptop in the back of a 1985 chevy g20 van hitting a wifi repeater setup. If I can run it, you can run it.
