TowerBBS

Like a crack addict, yes I'm back to mud again. Just can't stay away from it. :) But that's never a bad thing.
Since I'm feeling the urge to play again, I thought i'd push it to the next level and run a board this time. Hence, TowerBBS is being born.
Right now I am planning on running 2 realms. One that is a semi normal mud with a few edits to make things more fun, and balance out the classes, but otherwise leaving it untouched.
I know a lot of people don't relish the idea of having just a plain mud however, thus I'm working on putting together a second realm with whatever edits you care to voice.
A lot of the information is on the board's site, http://www.morlockstower.us but I'll put a few of the ideas here as well.
Both boards are currently running m (subject to change if enough people want something else). Thus, I'm trying to do a few things to balance out the classes, so that your sneakers can compete with the godlike tanks of m.
There is also going to be 1/4 race/class experience charts, to enhance leveling. x4 item drops on monsters, 1/3 boss regen times (no instant regen bug...sry guys :P), x2 $$ drops from monsters and a few others that are under debate.
The second realm is less put together, as I haven't gotten a good feel for what everyone wants. But the idea so far has been to use the second realm to play a few different types of majorMUD. What I mean by this is that the realm is kinda a test realm for new ideas. A few of those being:
Highlander style - 1 life, everyone starts at lvl x. It will be a PvP brawl to see who is the best, the last one standing.
Power leveling - x10, x20, x100, xwhatever exp you want, all the lims you can get your dirty little hands on, as well as a few new and improved weapons/armor/monsters. All to delight those who have a need for the lvl 200 character.
PvP realm - we can skip back to k or whatever version you (the users) think best, and begin an all out pvp realm where death reigns and those who wish to talk big must be able to back it.
Basically anything goes here.
As to when the board will be starting, the date is sitting around the 20th of this month. The more feedback I can get about what you would like to see in the realms, the better I can make it for all of us before we start.
