elfdude Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 I still dig muds, alot more strategy in my opinion. Rp is cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiere Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 I dig the who "free" aspect. Quite honestly, if I was filthy rich...I doubt you'd see me playing as much as we do. But that's not really something I could make a call on, since I'm not and never have been. I'd certainly miss the community aspect, that's for sure.

Chayesh Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 I think this quote sums up my feelings and is appropriate here: "The end of a thing is better than its beginning, and a patient spirit is better than a proud spirit. Don't let your spirit rush to be angry, for anger abides in the heart of fools. Do not say, 'Why were the former days better than these?' for it is not wise of you to ask such things."

Crypticant Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Applying a Biblical Proverb to a MUD situation... That's either damning, or just really ironic. Either way, I'm chuckling on the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-3000 Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 I don't play MUD because of the nostalgic reasons, I play it because it's f*ing addictive, and no other game has offered me same experiment as FL does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iusedtobesomebody Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 i guess i am "nostalgic" when it comes to the great times i had during 1.0/2.0, but i also look forward to making new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldbond Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 our playerbase is smaller it seems than a time ago, but be that as it may i have a great time playing these days, more so even than some other periods of the last few years. i'm very satisfied by the players i've interacted with for a good while now.

Pali Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I'm fairly sure that Raar's tired of saying this, so I'll do it for him. The playerbase is smaller now than it was a long time ago, but it has been steadily growing for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpnow Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Its rebounding from a huge drop. That isn't growing. Its a good sign, but there's bound to be some rebounding after you lose as many people as FL did, even if its just people who head its not dead after all.

Ahvandahla Posted August 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 ....Crypt that was an excellent break down of Mud downward slide, something else that can be added to that is the rise of the Mud client and how they have evolved. People now make big use of triggers and scripts to do a lot of their actions. I remember back on AR when you could summon people to closed rooms or no exits to pk that people had triggers set to quaff a recall. It used to be fun to set there and run "have been summoned" on the auction channel and see the crowd appear in recall. One guy had a trigger set up to quit if he was summoned. One of the best Warlords that I had ever seen was Tenaka and he played on telenet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad RP with quitting when summoned - if doing it constantly. Patient PKer (who also abuses OOC) could kill you anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Technically, growing means it's gaining size. Which it's currently doing. Whether it shrunk first or not has nothing to do with the fact that it is currently growing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crypticant Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Yeah, AR was kind of a haven for what I will simply call "odd behavior". FL has always been notoriously strict on rules, be it descriptions, trigger training, etc. AR was always far less strict, yet, strangely enough, I remember seeing some of the best (and worst) RP on AR ever. I remember on AR seeing folks with all sorts of crazy ASCII art in their desc (hell, I even had some at times). I also remember configuring my triggers on a level 10 Warrior fighting in the dwarven daycare on AR and going to sleep, only to wake up the next day to have most of my combat skills mastered. I guess there were a lot of things that were done on AR that we wanted to make sure didn't happen on FL. At the same time, it definitely makes FL and AR two different games.
