Rusty says it well. While I was off in my origional post, (since It was an exageration), you need to seriously up the xp gaining ability, since anyone hand playing a stock mud should be taken out and shot, with the one and oly exception being a quadrapalegic lady I met once on a noscript board.. for speed and his posting abilities, I said DONT reply with "I can do it", frankly I dun give a damn what you can do or who you are =), that being said.. most of the people playing mud today couldnt get to thrag without mega, that statistic changes a little with this being a hexing message board and most ppl who hex are more adept at mud than the generic user. I apologize for being caught up in replying to your initial post, and wont be responding so readily to you from now on. Also I'd bet you alot of money you couldnt run a level 1 to markus on a mud that hadn't JUST been reset. And again before you reply with "oh I've done it thousands of times" there's really no way you will ever convince me of that fact so.. dun waste our time.



and for xetox and the post readers.. I'm posting!! =)

You said it with the attitude of "Nobody can." so I had to give my two cents. Also, you aren't going to tell anyone on this board, least of all me, what they can or can not post to.



that being said.. most of the people playing mud today couldnt get to thrag without mega,



Sad... but incredibly true. I've met a few people that can not tell me which DIRECTION out of silvermere newhaven/forest/slums are. They also have lvl 40-50 chars. It's very sad. It is my personal belief that megamud destroyed the enjoyment factor in this game.

I don't have to convince you of anything, I know what I can and can not do. I've done it on reset boards. I've done it on non reset boards. I'm not trying to convince you of anything. You don't have to believe me, it's not a big deal. Just trying to make you realize that just because you can't/haven't done something, doesn't mean other people can't/haven't done them.

nod, same here. I can get anywhere before the mithril mines mod in the game by hand without a problem. There has been a shitload more stuff added that I know my way around, but the basics are before the mines. I stopped playing dialup when the mines mod was released, then started up again in mod8.

how much longer do u guys think u will be mudding? you quitting this year or what???

sure it will take a hell of a long time to get high levels, but i dont think im going to seriously quit mud altogether for a long time, a month break or so isnt a big deal...

why not put the time into 1 character in a good realm... you guys are all about the crazy exp table shit, but prolly go through dozens of characters in a year... usually characters on bbss that u dont give a shit about

I'm about bored. I have a lvl 92 warrior that I don't even script. I've gotta make new areas and stuff to make it more fun.

well this is fresh and fun.. its more about realm politics and player interaction than what you are nessesarily killing.



but dont get me wrong i wanna level up! my level 7 halfling thief averaging 21 damage a round getting 8k per hour at the slimes with a shortsword... but with an exp table that gets me qw at 85k.... grin



i guess its just u are there the entire time the character is there, and with other people in the realm playing its more exciting, especially with pvp... and ive been playing around with rob, i might as well get my exp charts worth hehe



only got 8 silvers and a torch so far tho

halfling thief? that proves you're out of your mind..lmao.



Anyway..I played mud pre-mod, but only for like a week. I came back in mod 8, and from then to now learned everything I know..mostly on my own. I can walk quite a few places on my own, Thrag being one of them. He's actually very simple to get to.



Illuvatar ever since the first post I've read of yours, you've always had this attitude about everything. You think we're all low-grade mudders who can't comprehend shit. You're wrong..if you want to sit there and tell people that they can't do this and can't do that, go tell people on MudCentral. You'll probably get the same response.



Xeeg..you're missing the WHOLE point. You basically keep telling people to play and have a char you can be proud of and do this and do that.. I don't want a mud char to be proud of. I'm happy with the dozen+ chars I go through a year. That's why I know as much as I know about different classes. I couldn't play 1 char for more than a few months before I got tired of it and wanted to start new.



We don't have the time to play live mud..we would play maybe 5 minutes a day before having to go, getting bored, or getting pissed. You said like 3-4 days ago you're char was level 4, now it's level 7...that's horrible..say sumthin that makes sense.
