I recently came into ownership of a game called Stroceta. I was not the original creator but I was given ownership because the previous owner did not have the time nor the skills to handle such a game. I have now taken over and since then is has improved greatly although shows plenty of room for improvement.
It is still young but shows great promise. Here is the description from the front page:
"Stroceta is a text-based role-playing game with hundreds of players 7 skills, over 60 items, 9 towns and constantly growing!
Stroceta is constantly expanding with something new every day. Usually stroceta has between 120 - 160 people online at any given time so join the chat and get to know your fellow Strocetians!"
It is only a few weeks old but has some good results.
