This seems like a big boring loop - is that what it's supposed to be?
I'm not trying to be a smartass, but all that excited waiting - and there isn't anything there really {other than basic CL stuff}.

I must be not understanding this properly - because there's got to be more than going down the stairs/elevator and meeting up at the fence with Providence?

Something new...

Is this a virtual world that must get built over time?
Do we just hang around hoping for B.A. or Chorazos to pop in?

Sorry if I sound cranky, just thought there'd be something to do once the MUD was up and running. And although I enjoy learning new things, this seems to be going more and more the tech "know-how" route, to which I can add a big goose egg.

/whine...lol

And maybe there is stuff to do and I'm just not understanding it? I've read up on what I can, but alot of the info I've found is game specific and the stuff that is universal hasn't helped me do anything but take an elevator and go west.

Can anyone familiar with the environment explain what they think might happen, or what we're supposed to be doing there? Can there be hidden stuff? Can you go north when the options presented are "in", "west" and "east"? Can you talk to the little girl,dig a hole of your own by the fence or pet the dog?

In case there's any of you who don't feel like wandering around in there, I created a quick walk through of what we have in the MUD world so far. I tried to eliminate any players and their created objects. I made it a separate file cause it's kinda long.

Walkthrough

So far there doesn't seem like there's much to do besides exit the building and walk west till we meet Providence. Are we supposed to build? I think we are going to need the wizards to unlock some exits if we are to do that. Leave items for BA? Exanor created a finger and we left it in Providence's yard just in case BA can enter this virtual world. You never know...

Rogi's wondering what would happen if we all parked ourselves on the 12th floor. Wink

Also, here are the MUD stats as of last night at 1AM:

#Overall Statistics
Total objects: 157
Total things: 31
Total exits: 55
Total rooms: 41
Total players: 28
Total topics: 2
Total unused objects:
Total male objects: 8
Total female objects: 3
Total linkok objects: 1
Total jumpok objects: 3
Total sticky objects: 1
Total wizard objects: 6
Total builder objects: 28

Weirdly I only counted 26 rooms during my visit, but there are 41 listed.

If we toad Chorazos, we may never get information we might need to help (S)he/it. Our task may be to help them keep the Old Ones at bay and we may not want to jump to "bug squashing" right away.

Just a thought.

I'm playing around a little in this MUD. I've never done one before. I have a couple of questions:

1. Can we talk to each other? Because it looked like cissemac responded to a comment I made in the - whatever the space is called where the MUD happens.

2. Is EGo IG? If I click on that name it says "he looks lost and confused." If I click on anyone elses name it says "you see nothing special."

[edit] Hmm, now I can't log in. Are you supposed to "officially" log out somehow because I think I just closed the window. [/edit]

Yep, i responded to you Very Happy

You can talk to each other, whisper to each other, allsorts.

Im still new to this, I didnt know how to interact with anything, so I found this for another MUD game which helped me a little:

I think Ego is one of us, because you can set your own descriptions. For example I just set myself as Female, and I'm playing around with a description at the moment.

Just be sure to note that not all of the commands that are listed for other MUD's necessariy work as intended, if at all, in this PerlMUD we have running. I would suggest typing help and going through all of the commands one by one to see how they work and what you can do with them. You cannot break the MUD, so just have a go. If it all gets out of hand then a wizard can clear everything with one swift move of the fingers Very Happy

Really? You can't break anything? I find that hard to believe. [skeptical]

mkaos is in the Mud - 13th floor for now.
We're about 75% confident it's Marie, but it could be an imposter.
She's asking if we have a map of the MUD.
