I also found it very confusing. I missed using the joystick and clicking buttons to move the people though. I didn't like typing in the commands. It seemed like too much work.

While visiting this website I realized that the telnet sites lacked using graphics I'm used to seeing on webpages and instead of using your mouse and clicking on certain options, you use command scripts. Just by reading this information, I felt overhelmed because it was quite confusing. I visited http://www.materiamagica.com/start/index.php to practice using telnet. Indeed I was very confused while practicing on this website. It looked very interesting but there's a lot of reading and you had to read fast to keep up. After about less than an hour after going through the tutorial and playing the game, it became more and more easier to follow. This was a very interesting game and very different from the "typical" games with lots of graphics I'm used to seeing. It was neat just typing in commands for direction of your movement, and using your combat actions just by typing in an action rather than using a joystick or by clicking buttons.
