The MOO is set in Merrick, New York, the time is now and the weather is actually the real weather from the NWS that you see. When you connect you will be able to walk around Merrick, check into the boarding house, visit Deb's old house. You can visit her school and go to the pizza place she ate at. While traveling around you may bump into other people doing the same thing as you. You can chat with them or follow them around.
Electronic mail is 'flat' text.
The MOO allows you to describe yourself, look at other people, objects and display an infinite range of emotions. People who meet on the MOO have gone on to become friends in real life too. There are many ways to connect to the Void Moo. If you are using an online service such as AOL, you may need some help from them in order to connect. If you have a Java-enabled browser, you can use WWW TheVoid instead.
