Perhaps not as well known as Neverwinter Nights, its main competitor, and for a good reason: AOL bought the rights to it then proceeded to kill it to prevent it from competing with Neverwinter Nights.

Someone went through the effort to create a full remake of the client/server of both the original game and its sequel.

I remember seeing it as well as Fates of Twinion, but I never had the chance to play them.

This is interesting... as a 90s console peasant, I never played the original, but many have said that it was the original (and only?) online co-op blobber. I was never sure about that claim because I wasn't sure how functional the online multiplayer really was. But I guess it was like a MUD? Anyway, interesting to see a post about this obscure gem.
Edit: so has anyone actually played the original version? How good was the online co-op? I know those were 28/56k modem days, so there wasn't much bandwidth available for something too intense. Was it real-time? How did the gameplay work?
