Dorky gamelove!
I still *heart* my game.
OP: 99% of this game's problems would be solved if you simply removed the graphics from the game and made the whole thing text based. He goes on to explain why, in the doing mocking my favorite race, wtfsir.
There are many similar posts along this line, such as
"You wake up. The room is spinning very gently around your head. Or at least it would be if you could see it which you can't. It is pitch black.

You have:
a splitting headache
no tea
It is thoroughly wonderful and oldschool and such. But my absolute favorite is when one of the notorious Blues gets in on the action. Caydiem, a Blizzard Community Manager, responds with the following.
Welcome to World of Warcraft!
You are standing outside the Orgrimmar bank. Bonfires burn merrily up and down the street. There is a mailbox here.
You also see: Atauren, Gudhealr, Beefsteak, Rottin, Voodootrol.
> open mailbox
You open the mailbox to see if any new mail has arrived.
You see:
* A small pouch of money from the Auction House
* Wanderer's Boots of the Whale
* A handwritten note
>get money
I don't understand that.
>take money
There is nothing by that name here.
>take pouch
You take the pouch. Inside is 1g, 40s and 23c, which you pocket.
Voodootrol yells, 'anyone maek me water plz'
Beefsteak goes east.
>take note
You take the note.
>read note
The note reads:
Do you want to be rich beyond your wildest dreams? Just visit www
>destroy note
Are you sure you want to destroy the note? Y/N
>y
The note is destroyed.
Fangtooth enters the area.
>close mailbox
You close the mailbox.
You are standing outside the Orgrimmar bank. Bonfires burn merrily up and down the street. There is a mailbox here.
You also see: Atauren, Gudhealr, Rottin, Voodootrol, Fangtooth.
>say Hi, Fangtooth.
Caydiem says, 'Hi, Fangtooth.'
Fangtooth says, 'murgurgul' in Murloc.
>em sigh
Caydiem sighs.
>ne
You head northeast.
You are outside the bustling Orgrimmar Auction House. You can hear the auctioneers bark over the restless crowd inside.
You also see: Beefsteak, Orcboi, Gromm, Eyonix, Deddood.
>em wave Eyonix
Caydiem waves to Eyonix.
Eyonix whispers, 'I just got [Hand of Edward the Odd].'
>look Eyonix hand
He has two of them.
>look Eyonix Hand of Edward the Odd
You see Eyonix holding the Hand of Edward the Odd, an ornate, runed mace that sits easily in one hand.
Damage: 50-94
Speed: 1.6
Statistics: +13 INT, +10 SPR
Effect: Chance on hit -- next spell cast within 4sec will cast instantly.
>em rude Eyonix
Caydiem makes a rude gesture at Eyonix.
Eyonix sighs.
Eyonix whispers, 'Fine, I won't give it to you then.'
>tell Eyonix wait
You whisper to Eyonix, 'wait'
Eyonix goes south.
>tell Eyonix Come back!
Eyonix has ignored you.
>use hearthstone
You begin to use your hearthstone...
...
Your hearthstone whisks you away to where you last bound!
You are inside the Orgrimmar inn. The raucous chatter of inebriated Horde adventurers makes it difficult to hear anything. The innkeeper stands in the middle of the room.
You also see: Coreiel, Fordtauren.
An outraged roar bellows through the building as a tauren is gutted from behind.
Someone appears to be going through his pockets.
>say $@%! I didn't want to be here
Caydiem says, '$@%! I didn't want to be here'
Coreiel gasps.
Coreiel whispers, 'reported'
>logout
Are you sure you want to logout? Y/N
>y
You log out. Thank you for playing World of Warcraft!

(That said, I'd love to see a text-only WoW client sort of like what they did with the accessible version of Quake so we could drag
