At E3 this year, RPGamer had the chance to sit down with the fine people at Simutronic, who gave us an in-depth interview regarding its current project, an MMORPG entitled Hero's Journey. Simutronic was a big player in the early days of online gaming, dominating the MUD scene with its text-based adventure titles. It is thus no stranger to the monthly fee setup, and company executive Eric Slick indicated that this is one of the reasons why Simutronic was able to continue its existence with the advent of games like Ultima Online, which put a huge dent in the MUD market.
