There used to be a pretty awesome site called lgdb.org that was a database for games available on linux. I searched it for MMOs sometime back in 2013 (I think) and TMW was one of only a handful of results back then. Sadly that site has long since shut down 
Maybe, but it still exists in Internet Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20131112002 ... e/manaplus
Oh man, wait, that link is the pretty one for Evol! But don't worry, TMW also had a page: https://web.archive.org/web/20130925101 ... mana_world
Internet Archive did a great job at archiving the Linux Gaming Database. Would be fun someday to leverage it and see how many of the games back then are still available for fun 
But definitely in off-topic

Nice, that brings back memories
Also, a lot more MMOs on that site (even back in 2012) than I recall.

"If you can get past the graphics the game is truly entertaining"
WTF
Anyway the page has a pretty good summary description of the game. I might steal it

Libre game wiki exists, perhaps it is the continuation of fgdb? https://libregamewiki.org/Massively_mul ... ying_games

Neat! The description for TMW's a bit outdated though.
