History
DragonSpires was one of the first graphical MUDs. While made freely available during its development phase, it was planned for DragonSpires to become a commercial product.
DragonSpires in this first format was discontinued in early 1997 after the release of Dragon's Eye Productions's second MMOG Furcadia.
With the approval and initial assistance of Dragon's Eye Productions, Adam Maloy and Christopher Howard Wolf converted the game to Java and added a storyline, along with new features and new artwork. In 2002, the second format of the game was shut down.
Gameplay
The gameplay was largely social, as opposed to combative or goal-based. DragonSpires had various basic features, such as palette-swapped player avatars, several maps, Chat and messaging abilities, and both PvP and PvE combat. Eventually, more unique features such as Dodgeball, Capture the flag, and item-based quests were added.
