Well, isn't that what mud is about? Getting exp and items, dp's etc the hard way?
He was merely commenting that your "hard way" means "not at all" once someone else gets the item. Say I have the golden belt. Unless I give it to you, how are you going to get it? You can't. The hard way also used to be that you tried to not die because someone else might come and snag your gear. What's keeping people in check, now? This seems more easy than hard. It also seems like it's a view from the sysop who (openly) dies all the time in every mud and probably hates getting his/her gear back - hence the no dp raiding rule. (Not knocking sysops imposing rules they enjoy - just an observation)
They have kept their game bout as close to the original game but with some editing.
Except for the no dp raiding, the new classes and races, the new items and spells to go with said classes and races, sys map, sys gotos... I'm sorry, what was your point? There are 2, maybe 3 boards that use an elaborate system of teleports to bosses (WhiteDragon, others?), but more that actually have teleports *instead* of sys gotos (MudRev, others?) - and that's more like the original game. The 'original game' was a whole hell of a lot of PvP, boss runs without sys gotos, and deathpile raids.
As for money, you obviously didn't play on the same board as I did, because money wasn't ever an issue. Fine broadswords taken from the chump scripting AC, gnolls (after mods started), and wooden were all hella close, easily accessible by a sneaking newb, and had a ton of cash.
As for experience, well, it's the same now - just with a different level spread. People still have hard times reaching certain lvls, scripting days on end for 1 level. It's just not for 20 anymore - it's for 70.
I, myself, prefer to have to do dp's runs...
You mean DP walks. Re: No DP raiding. And DP runs happen more when you have to get to it before someone else does. And if you're doing frequent dp runs on a board with sys gotos, we need to have a talk. Then again, what do you care? It's not like someone could take your stuff and make the game interesting
...do boss runs with hopes that a limited item drops.
Will you feel this way in about a month when everything is taken, and there's no way to get it? How will this bring new players to the realm? How will it keep existing ones? I know you're not the OP, but these are questions that have to be asked...
Sure, I can go on some board, get a weapon that hits for over a 100, script newhaven for plat, buy armour that gives me a very high ac, then go to the teleporters and kill all bosses (without having to travel more than two or three rooms to kill each boss)but for me there is no excitement in that.
I don't disagree with you. And neither do most people here. Did you happen to read that thread about WhiteDragon? Most people don't like that end of things, either. But saying you like one specific board because of the faults of only one other board isn't saying much - you're leaving all of the other bbses out of the equation.
So, hence my comment that I like Purgatory's board the way it is.
Ditto, but for entirely different reasons
(Disclaimer: If I came off sounding like an asshole, it's because I'm hungover and need a fucking coffee, except the fucking coffee machine here is broken, and these fuckwits haven't called the service, so I had to, and the lady had the most obnoxiously loud voice that anyone could have when speaking to someone who feels like someone ripped off the back of their skull, tossed in an M80, and closed it back up. And now I won't have coffee all fucking day.)

I was giving my opinion that I like Purgatory's Mud game. I, myself, prefer to have to do dp's runs, level slow, earn money the hard way, do boss runs with hopes that a limited item drops.
If your looking for a good legit realm, check out telnet://mudwar.com great board, friendly sysops, great people, zero edits, they're on the turbo sentry list.

Why is it, you must make a poke at WhiteDragon in every single post? Your a hypocrite.

1. I did not see him bring up WhiteDragon, that desc. could be any number of muds that have advertised here.
2. I know you were given some controls over at WD, and you and DD are buddies now, but with what you have said of the board your self in the past you REALLY should shut your damn mouth, you are not one to speak
Remeber your comments in reviews about WhiteDragon?
"...But then I guess DD is probably one of those losers that never ventured outside of silvermere cause he was affraid of dying. So his board he had to bring everything into Silvermere..."
What your mind about the same damn point changed simply because DD gave you a lil control to shut you the fuck up? You have no room to speak Pant. So, hey, here is an idea, DON'T next time!!! Well unless of course you want to explain how your point above has changed in the WhiteDragon game... Any such game news is always welcome.

Well, since I now only play on boards that are just a tad easier than a non edited board and ones that are just too darn easy I was giving my OPINION of a combo of both-non edited and the ones that are edited to make it too easy.
I was NOT comparing Purg to Dragons.
The example I gave were things I remembered from different boards I had played on that were far too easy.
And in the regular game-non edited-not all are pvp boards. I know i play on one-a private one. It also has the rule of no dp raiding.
I agree about the fine broadswords but I was making the point that one can leave newhaven on one of the boards with about 20 runics-depending on how long you wish to stay scripting there. When 2-5 plat is dropping in newhaven, no need to hassle with fine broadswords, one can just stay in newhaven on that particular board and make money that way. And with the mobs being edited 10X, it is worthwhile to stay and get easy exp and money.
Every one likes their game edited a certain way and I happen to like the way Purg did theirs.
Could there be improvements? Sure. I haven't been on a board yet, that has been perfect for all.

Did i mention white Dragon? NO
My post was about Purg's being between legit boards and edited ones in which I gave examples of things that have been edited to make the game far too easy.
I have no idea what they have edited except i do remember a weapon that you could get at level 1 that hit for over 100. That was ONE example I gave. The plat droppage in newhaven is from a private edited board. Teleporter is from atleast three different boards.
So, tell me again where I was poking at White Dragon?
I am and always have been a direct type of person. If I was making a poke at your board, then I would ahve typed the name.
DOH!

Fair enough, but everything you mentioned, and the severity at which you mentioned it happening, only happens on WhiteDragon (ut of the bigger boards, at least). This is why everyone keeps thinking you're referring to them. Evidently everything you think sucks they do on their board.
And in the regular game-non edited-not all are pvp boards. I know i play on one-a private one. It also has the rule of no dp raiding.
True, but when you say "original game" I end up thinking pre-mod 6, if not pre-mods entirely. If by "original game" you actually mean "legit," well, that's different. Back during the original game, before telnet and all, I know of not one board that had no PvP rules, no DP raiding, etc. There may have been, but they surely were very rare.
I agree about the fine broadswords but I was making the point that one can leave newhaven on one of the boards with about 20 runics-depending on how long you wish to stay scripting there.

And with the mobs being edited 10X, it is worthwhile to stay and get easy exp and money.
Again, you're referring to a very small segment of editted boards. Very little editted realms (the good ones, at least) drop money like this in Newhaven, because it takes away from the game (IMHO).
As for the mobs being 10x, unless only the NH mobs are editted like that, it's worthwhile to move on as soon as you can - but this isn't relevant to what we're talking about..
Again, the reason everyone's jumping down your throat about the WhiteDragon stuff is because everything you mention is just like it.
Anywho, I must go now. The hangover is back.

Furrene, that description applys to all of 2 boards, whitedragon and dewicked. Maybe not even whitedragon anymore.
There are boards with dmg over 100, but you arn't gonna log on and get it. You log on, script for a month or so, then hope you get it. ;)
As for the rest, apathy got the point.
I am all up for a challenging game. However, I think people tend to equate "challenge" to "takes 10 years to gain a lvl". Thats not "challenging" that "boring".

Ripper pull your head out of Furrenes ass, it's starting to rot. She makes a cheap poke every chance she gets and everyone knows it.
I dont have any control whats so ever on WhiteDragon. I was made a sysop for about 5 mins, so I could show DD something.
I bad mouthed WhiteDragon and DragonDawn along with everyone, but one of my friends from Lunar told me that alot had changed, and that the xp had been lowered. And that you could no longer lvl to 100 in an hour.
Hell he didn't even ask me to make a webpage for him, I did it because I got pissed off at looking at useless bullshit.
So until you have facts instead of fiction. How about you keep your fucking mouth shut, before you once again get made to look like the fucking moron you are.
