So someone just posted the following on Reddit Forum:
-----------------------
Let me start by apologizing for making another of these "looking for x,y,x MUD" threads. I've searched the past posts in this subreddit and haven't found exactly what I want yet.
I'm a long time D&D player (2.0, 3.5, and Pathfinder) and RPG gamer (pretty much every major PC RPG since ~1988). I'm just now getting into MUDs and trying to find a home-MUD that fits my criteria. What I'm looking for:
Interesting fantasy setting
Roleplaying (not necessarily RP-enforced but it's a bonus)
Sandbox game elements (crafting, government, etc.)
Unique / one-of-a-kind items or weapons ("artifacts")
Deep character development
Engaging combat
Puzzles
SECRETS
Quests
So far I've tried Genesis, Forgotten Kingdoms, and am now trying Armageddon.
Genesis seems promising, but dropping items on logout seems really strange. How can I ever build up an epic-level character with powerful artifact items and gear?
Forgotten Kingdoms had a lot of great keywords, like "Forgotten Realms" and "D&D 3.5 and Pathfinder", but the character creation process really gave me a bad impression. Hard to navigate menus and strange, seemingly-incomplete sections of text.
Armageddon also seems quite promising, especially on the roleplay front - but I'm wondering if there are many (or any) puzzles to solve, secrets to find, or "artifacts" to find.
-----------------------------------
I'm curious how some of you'd respond to his query regarding Genesis and our Armour/Weapon saving feature .. or lack thereof.
