And to prevent them from tying up what was very likely the BBS's only phone line.
- sseagull 11y agoI feel the limit on time you can spend per day would fit more with busy professional lives. For me, it always made me greatly anticipate the next day when my turns would be replenished. That would make actually playing it much more special. Also, the reduced audience available for the BBS made cheating less of an issue (at least at my local BBS)
- PhasmaFelis 11y agoThe MMORPG Kingdom of Loathing seems to be essentially a browser-based door game, complete with turn limits, and it was still running last I checked. Might be worth a look if that's what you're into.
- PhasmaFelis 11y agoSo I've heard, although in my area most BBSes limited users to an hour a day anyway.
