just to let you know whats goin on with the board



A few suggestions for you Orb...



1) Get rid of the instant regen 60k cave worm. I don't if your goal is to have a balanced realm, but you won't if you keep that.



2) The topten. I have been here for only 2 days and in that time I have seen a player go from 2billion experience to 10billion... That's in a matter of 48 hours. If you keep whatever monster/area the way it is where they are scripting, you will have players losing interest in the game fast. The only way to keep a good user base, and keep players from leaving is to create a Majormud game that can be drawn out. If a player gets to level 80 in a matter of days, it will ruin the game for them.



3) ANY players with the EDITED tag need to be either non-playing or removed from the topten. Preferably both. If a new user comes in and see's 4-5 players on the topten and who list with that tag, they will NOT want to play on the board.



If you have a playing character, take away it's ops. This is an easy way to overcome this obstacle. If a player for instance see's a playing sysop with:



Outlaw Orb Floats - Templar of Bounty Hunters EDITED



That next to their name, they won't have much passion to play there, because the first thought crossing their mind would be: "This sysop's a cheater"



3) I know using the advanced sysop functions (I.E. sys tweak, sys summon, sys monster) are all fun and games, and I participated in this with you as well... But when you do that in front of the wrong person, you will again be labeled a 'cheater' and will more than likely have a lot of players lose interest in the board.



One thing I do on Boink Machine is when any SYSOP character has to use the sys summon option (which they are only allowed to use to help a player replace gear that has completely disappeared from a deathpile), I have them let me know what they summoned and for what reason.



All of my staff that has the SYSOP key in their class keyring is made to keep their account with staff powers as non-playing. This helps lessen the threat of any unfair activity on their part. They all have mortal accounts apart from their sysop account that they are allowed to play.



4) Make players aware of any significant area's and/or items that may help their characters. I noticed that alot of the players on the topten are easily making 2-4 billion each day, yet whenever I have inquired to any of them as to where they are running, they mysteriously go 'AFK'.





Just a few thoughtful suggestions... Paying heed to these will save you a LARGE headache further down the road.

Thanks Raiden for info sysops are now not playin only therer to help get DPs i will lower exp so its more equal for other users and good point on summon i will do that..and plz people that have been in the realm and post here good or bad i dont care lay you opion down so i know how u feel and give me ideas on ways to fix it....orb and kneac will be removed from top 10 as well



thanks for your thoughts raiden

Hey, as long as you have the committment, and aren't going to be one of the boards that pops up for a couple of months and then gets dropped down again, I don't mind giving tips at all.

Orb this is what keeps people intrested. I have played on Lunar everyday since the reset and I'm only level 110, I am on the top 20 and a lot of users want my spot. However our sysops are on the list by sheer hard work, none have been edited in any way.



When you start seeing all the ops in the top spots, or edited into the top spots, it gets disappointing.

ypu i hear ya shadow sysops have been romoved from top ten and will no long gain exp ....i have dropped exp since i have been seein people add the bosses in there scripts so i am in prosses on makein harder to solo bosses new areas and shops are in but i'm not stalkin shops yet...all legit items are in normals shops and are not limited but new items are goin to be 5 limit in game so people cant just buy the best they have to work for it most of the bosses who drop just chest will now drop custom items i have talked to players in the realm about pvp and sys goto they dont care...yet i still think is will be unfair to have sys goto with pvp so i'm still in the works on recall so pvp can be a little more fun......we are havin a big arena fight to night i have add some treats in the arena for players to get but should be fun we shales see.....thanks for the input plz keep it comin



Thanks MMB for your help and ideas

Board is up, and works just fine for me, must be that DD has been IP banned from another BBS.



Listen to the right peeps? Who listen to you? What do you know, DD assumes he knows something about MMUD. Gerry, Orb has been listening to the right people, he's taken the logical advice.



Gerry for someone who cannot build his own board from scratch, has to rely on someone elses edits, how the hell do you assume you know anything about mmud at all.

Dont work for me he wont validate.
