The Island of Kesmai | Tropedia | Fandom

Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.

All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.

All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

The Island of Kesmai was one of the earliest Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (late 80s) that ran on the Compu Serve dial up online service. It could host 100 players at a time, cost 7 bucks an hour to play, and used an overhead perspective, representing everything with ASCII characters. (So it might actually be called the first graphical MMORPG, depending on how you define "graphics".) This Troper well remembers getting his first job and handing over every one of his paychecks to his mother to go straight to her credit card in order to support his habit.
