I used to frequent a number of local BBSes in the city I grew up in east of Toronto. The one I was on the most was called the Iron Ring. It was desirable because it had MajorMUD in addition to multiple lines, which allowed several of us to play at the same time. In another thread recently, I described MajorMUD as a combination of Zork and World of Warcraft.
I also played it on my cousin's BBS for awhile, but it got too expensive for him to have multiple phone lines.
Damn that game was addictive. I used to stay up in the wee hours playing it. It was so much like WoW that way.
