Aside from telling Gamasutra that the game would feature microtransations and that it could be played on a computer or iPhone, Jolt's hasn't spilled much in the way of details. But rest assured that we'll be buying the game (or buying a wicked cool sword in the game, as the case may be) on day one.

Zork? Casual?
*head a splode*

I would not hold your breath for anything great, Jolt only claim to fame is its a sucky game server provider, last time I heard, sub-letting someone else's server cluster was not a pre-requisite for a MMO developer... poor Zork. "Yeah, I run a Counterstrike server, maybe I can write games now..." doomed...!

My *head sploding* was a bad thing.

A post about Zork... and no grue reference?!

I can't see the words "MMO" and "casual" working together in a sentence.

why can't something be massively multiplayer online, and a casual title? what about casual suggests it can only be played by a few people at a time, or solo? I don't understand...
er, I just realized, you're not confusing MMO with MMORPG are you?

You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
If this predicaments seems particularly cruel
Just ask yourself, whose fault it could be
Not a torch or a match in your inventory.

Quoting fail:
You are likely to be eaten by a grue
If this predicament seems particularly cruel
Just imagine whose fault it could be
Not a torch or a match in your inventory!

Can we get a version of Grand Inquisitor that we can install on an operating system past Windows 98? And no, I did not wish to install gametap just to pay a monthly fee to play it (without subtitles for some reason).
Your sword's blowing glue! Wait. Let me try that again. Your sword's glowing blue!

I will definitely check this out. Zork is awesome.

This is quite the coincidence: I just heard about this series for the first time yesterday. One of my co-workers loves to say "Shun magic, shun the appearance of magic, shun everything, and then shun shunning!" but he couldn't remember where he knew the quote from. Finally, I decided to google the phrase yesterday to figure it out and learned all about Zork. It sounds like a great series.
I doubt that anybody gives a crap about that but I felt like sharing :p

-Look at casual MMO.
There's nothing special about the casual MMO.

This is great. I got a Blackberry for myself for Christmas and was just thinking "man, zork would be _awesome_ during statistics". Here's hoping it will support all mobile browsers, not just iPhone's...

This news just warmed my heart.
