Although the game has been running for about 2 weeks now, we haven't had alot of people come by to check it out. Although the players that we do have here are friendly and helpful while atk, I would like to see some more faces around here. I am also willing to hear some suggestions why my BBS may not be so attractive. Hope to see some new people soon!!!



Also the file attached is the MMud Explorer DAT file! (in case you are too lazy to check out the website)

In my opinion limited items = bad. Rare 1% drop items are ok, at least you have a chance of getting some of the good shit. I'd bet the #1 warrior is fully decked out and no tank class will ever compete.



Then again, if you want pvp and stuff I wouldn't recommend changing that.

Yeah... Hes a lil decked out, but did I forget to mention that I doubled the drop rate and stocked most shops with the items that dont usually regen? Not Limited items, of course, for instance there is a much better chance of the cat's-eye pendant regening.



Its all good. Thinking about running a second mud that is live with no pvp and minimal edits.

The warrior isn't decked at all as the other chars aren't either. Yes, i play there but am not the Warrior.



The sysop does take suggestions into consideration and has already implemented some that were suggested like have a trash disposal room right under the halls. Making Universal Trainer for levels 1 plus.



He also, bummer I was afk scripting, gave items away to whoever needed an upgrade and or just needed items.



Yes, it is a very small realm but as you can see the topten isn't all that high so new players could catch up.



I am not sure if the sysop mentioned about the teleporters called Arcane and the Glass porters. Nice to have when questing and one doesn't have sys goto's.



Most script but I feel once more join up we'll be live more often.



I know of atleast one gang that has a house and low level items for use to those that join the gang.



All in all, I will agree that it isn't the sysop's board but the members board and he is always open to suggestions etc.



If you do decide to join and wish to join a gang either tellie me, Lil Bit, and or Mourning.



Hope to see some new faces soon. :)

You mean like, we should be posting in the BBS links forum? I did...



http://forumshq.com/showthread.php?t=6849



Just don't want the original thread to be all huge and whatnot, as well as put a thread in a differant forum to kinda let people know that this is not a "fly by" BBS. Just thought I might have a bigger response this way. :hmm:

Man WTF. I filled everything out ID name and everything and this is what I get.



Sorry, no such User-ID exists in our

database. Maybe you mistyped it?



When I try to set up a new account thinking it might not have gone through it tells me that name is already being used. I know your last post said it was down but it lets me do a new account.

I saw in my Audit Trail that a new account was made, and got all excited, :) But then it didn't show an IP of someone who logged on, or logged off... I am haveing some "attempt to read" errors at the moment, and I am really stuck working those out as when the BBS is all crashy crashy, it take like 45 mins to come back up and lag to kick back. I have done absoulutly nothing all day long but work on this stuff, and its just one thing after another, (like always) but I am sooooo workin on it... I will let everyone know what the hell is going on, as soon as I get the friggin ball rolling. Sorry to all my regulars and anyone who is interested, but soon it will be working!

Sorry about that! :rant: I think I fixed the problem, anyone who has had this or any other problem please ICQ me @ 179-517-649, and we can get it all worked out. Sorry for the problems and thanks for your patience!
