Who do I speak with around here for donations?

Also, outside of your voting links - is this MUD advertising anywhere? Really enjoy the code and areas so far here but like alot of other MUDs I've tried before finding this one, it seems like there aren't alot of players.

Is anyone good at making flash banners? If someone can design an attractive one, I might be entertain the idea of footing the bill for it's use @ TMS if the staff here would be agreeable with that.

What if you were to advertise on TMS for an "Open" PK Tournament. Make a thread on TMS or some other widely used MUD community offering this to anyone.

One day only, perhaps on a Saturday night. Anyone who wants to log on to the MUD will receive a free advance to 50 for that night only. Have special eq made to hand out for the tournament.

Prizes could be awarded like a free dragon on their first character. A hundred thousand gold. A special owner only item. Etcetera, etcetera.

This would be a great way to showcase the MUD and it's better PKers to people who play for that sort of challenge. Would attract some good traffic to the forum and the game alike and perhaps net us a few more players. It would also be a break in the monotany for the staff and the players alike.

Its a good idea, we usually have something exactly like this TWICE a year, once at haloween and once christmas (or atleast something random going on at christmas.)

It would work pretty well I reckon, except for the fact that the people who know the mud would *destroy* anyone new if they werent kept in check.

Im looking at you mudder. No undead monks thanks.

An advertised, structured PK tournament. In an arena, not an FL-only area. Alot of the classes here are similar to other MUDs out there. With some exceptions, additions, and variations of course.

From a business owner's standpoint it's not about our people killing the new people...it's about showcasing the MUD and the code balance of the classes at 50. As well as laying the smack-down on some newcomers to show them what the competition level would be like here.

Administrating a MUD is just like running a business in a lot of ways. Your investors want a return. Your employees want to enjoy their job. And your customers want quality and service. You can lose your pbase just as easy as a business loses a customer base if you aren't listening to the demands of your consumers and offering fresh and exciting products and services.

Have to advertise if you want your business to grow....word of mouth only goes so far.

Some of these things are currently being discussed: website, events, advertisements. Several good ideas from the pbase. We will see what can be realized.

We also received some donations, which will help cover our bills. Thank you, you know who you are.

I've enough of you and your childish insults to the staff, "Jairoth". Byebye Zrothrum. I think everyone here knows that the Staff reads these posts and discusses them. We do not make replies to every single thread when there has not been reached any result yet.

"J", you are acting like a Kid.

You had a great Idea. To make a pub banner for the mud. Focus on that, don't start a "spur" of maybe ideas. It will only end up getting nothing done.

It's better a small idea that works, than a "White elephant" that brings lot of problems.

Advice:

Do a this like a Project:

- Bring more 1-2 people into it. Share the Load.

- Share all data, so that if sudently one of you goes MIA, the others can finish it.

- You have the money ? Put in a envelope, so that you do not spend it.

- Mark time milestones. Make an informal report at each milestone. (1 weak...)

- Mark end time for project.

- End time passed and still no banned ? End project. Crompress all data that you all got, and post it somewhere so that someone might pick it up at a later time.

Rant: Everyone is waiting for the imms. But you can do this things alone.

I doubt anyone would ban you if you made a pub banner to the mud. Quite the opposite.

We "lack" (sort of) a website. Imm have already stated that if someone comes up with a "Done" working website they would consider it.
