- Threshold RPG is an online text-based role-playing game using a MUD style interface. The game opened to the public in 1996 and is now owned by Frogdice, Inc. It is based in the United States, but it draws players from all around the world. In its ten-year history, the game has won many awards. Threshold RPG has been in continual operation, development, and expansion since 1994 and is best known for its enforced role playing atmosphere, where players are required to stay in character. It is the oldest enforced role playing MU* in operation. Threshold RPG runs on a dedicated server and is coded in LPC, a versatile language derivative of C. At its peak in the mid 2000s, Threshold had between 110 to 120 players online at peak times (between 6:00 pm and 9:30 pm EST). Currently, Threshold averages between 70-90 players at its peak times. Usage tends to climb higher when new areas are introduced or administration-run events are occurring. During some events the number of players has exceeded 300. Its lead developer, Michael A. Hartman, (known on Threshold by the screen name "Aristotle"), already has two successful online games to his credit, and a third in development (Primordiax). Some of Threshold's geography is based on his creative work on a development MUD, Frontiers, where he began his coding career in the early 90's. The game was plagued by controversy in the mid-90s soon after its release to the public. It has, since then, retired to a more quiet atmosphere usually attributed to long-time games. Few games have sparked as much passion as Threshold RPG, as indicated by Computer Games Magazine's Massively Multiplayer Issue. Page 79:
