Kirby Online (Forum)

The original version of Kirby's Dream World. Kirby Online (Name Subject to Change) was an idea three of the GMs had (Legend, Vile, and Dr.Killjoy). Originally a forum, Kirby Online was going to mix your typical fan forum with that of an RPG text adventure. RPG forum mods were installed to allow players to level up from posting, and RPG specific boards were created to allow for fan role playing. On top of that, a choose your own adventure feature was in the works, with multiple forums being linked together with paths that players could take.

Although quite a bit of work was done on Kirby Online, after one of the GMs went on vacation, the other two took the project in a new direction. Rather than continuing with a simple forum, the two decided to use the Total Eclipse engine to make a virtual world instead. Thus Kirby's Dream World was born, and Kirby Online sunk into obscurity. Never to see the light of day again.

While Kirby Online was the original version of KDW, and the working title for KDW as we know it today, there was one other project that came before. This was a forum known as "Kirby Land."
