If you're even slightly into Dragon Quest, then please check on #DragonQuest. This is an IRC channel on EFnet. You'll need an IRC client to access IRC (doh!!). If you don't have an IRC client, then I recommend MIRC. My ID on #DragonQuest is Malice35.

A big Thank-you goes to Neil_, Mad_Devil, Gema2k, Spinner_8, SrDragoon, Lord_Cie, nlwarrior, Justinffx, animefx, WeirdMan_, zHeights, O-Juice, kueller, Windaria, and Sarke for making this channel a fun and reliable location for discussing DQ and non-DQ related info. (Sorry if I forgot to mention your name; I can't really name everyone offa the top of my head.)

Interactive DQ.

If either Erdrick or Erdrick1 is present in #dragonquest, then you can play an interactive IRC game. As of late 1998, it is still currently in development. Basically, Interactive DQ is a Dragon Quest clone minus the storyline, graphics, towns, etc. and all you can do right now is battle monsters. Extensive multiplayer capabilities as well as certain features not included with the original DQ games will probably be added.

For right now, you can just type !play and Erdrick will invite you to a private channel where Interactive DQ will take place. The instructions are pretty much self explanatory.
