how this is bad money? you sound to whine. don't sound as this spend it and do it. is not a trick My apologies; my usual expectation is that learning how games work is a good thing, and muddling around on my own asking as few questions as possible wasn't accomplishing much. Me not being the one sta...

A few other websites that have been passed around over the years, each of which is helpful in their own way for learning.

70% of all Mudders use these or have at one point and time. That's an interesting stat, where did you get that? If you post something I'll write a paragraph or two as a follow up. Maybe some of the follow ups could be the recruitment posters we see plastered all of Genesis, along with follow up rol...

Here's a forum dedicated to MUD advertisement, maybe you could coordinate a day across multiple sites. http://www.topmudsites.com/forums/advertising-players/ http://www.mudconnect.com/discuss/discuss.cgi?mode=AREA&area=promotions EDIT: Adding more sites These two are your bread a butter sites, ...

@Azarias From what you write, Aardwolf has a clear focus, that simply appeals more to the powerplayers/grinds, and perhaps Atonement is the same, but to roleplayers. Maybe Genesis tried to be everything to everyone, but ended up being nothing - As in attempted to sit on two chairs at once and ended...

I think some of you need to actually take a look at what else is out there and flourishing. There are RPI's that hold 150+ people, no skills, no levels just plain role playing. There are games like Aardwolf where you can name your character FlamingButt and they hold at times over 300+ people. New Wo...

Azarias... as someone who has enjoyed things such as you mention its not enough to draw people to an area. Khalakhor has a useful herb and one semi-useful item and that is it. I like making candles but its a bit of a pain to go there as there is nothing else to get. Take the domain Avenir. It has t...

As for the others, ill let you think about that one :) I'd vote 75% of Gen ... vast areas in Calia, Terel, Kabal or even Krynn or ME that are hardly ever visited by anyone not as dead as Khalakhor, but still ... if there's nothing worth visiting, noone will go there - even ogres All of those areas ...

You could essentially keep the qexp the way it is and instead just let the exp build on a title or ranking system which allows new items to be available to you through a special vendor.

Or as stated above since I obviously have a problem reading first.

There ya go I like the vendor idea.
