Reception
In 2001, the game was mentioned by Computer Gaming World in an article about online games.
Threshold was the primary MUD example quoted and discussed in Edge magazine's article, "Lost in Transition" which discussed the preservation of gaming history.
For three consecutive years, Threshold was The MUD Journal's highest-rated role-playing game. Computer Games Magazine listed it as a highlight of less popular MMOGs, describing it as being particularly focused on role-playing, and noting the distinct passion of its players.
Richard Bartle described it as possessing an "individuality" lacking in other, contemporary graphical MMOGs, citing its in-game legal system as an example.
