Ten Years of Kalyr

I'm not sure of the actual date because I no longer have the archives of the very early posts to hand. But I do remember that I posted the first actual game moves to the CompuServe RPGames forum in mid-May, 1996.

That means the online game has been running for ten years. Much longer than I've owned the kalyr.com domain.

The old CompuServe forum is long since gone, and for long and complicated reasons I'm not going to go into the game has bifurcated into two parts, one of which runs on The Phoenyx, the other on Dreamlyrics.

There are currently about a dozen players in the two games, and at different times there have been over thirty different player characters. Sadly none of the first six from May 1996 are still playing, but I've still got one active PC who's been playing since the first few months.

Being an online game, players are scattered all over the world; I've currently got players from Britain, the US, Canada, Germany and Israel. I've actually met just four of them face to face.
