Jairoth Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 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.

Jairoth Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Is there no support for this? I had another great idea I posted in prayer forum. It got no response, so I'll see what the public thinks about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jairoth Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 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.

Ali_gmud Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I don't know about anyone else. but I think this is a sweet idea, really sweet. But I'm sure there will be some debate but lets wait for the replies to roll in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Jairoth Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jairoth Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Yea. No reason to actually do anything or discuss different ideas...I'll remember to not try to help anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali_gmud Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Yeah, I like the ideas as well. I have no idea why no one is giving their input on this subject... why the hell not. This fellow has ideas to improve the muds pbase and everyone is flicking him off... and its pissing me off, why isn't anyone giving their thoughts on the matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinblades713 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Well, I for one have not an inkling of techsmartness, nor money... so I'm rather useless But I offer support... and I hope others will contribute. It's really not often someone like this comes along and it's a boon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Implementor Anume Posted November 13, 2008 Implementor Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 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.

mya Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 "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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
