Aardwolf is pretty okay for what it is, though I always get messed up by the lack of the northeast like directions.

Does anyone play HellMOO anymore, or has it gone completely to poo poo?

Some of the Pvp nerfs have been rolled back or changed - FC is a green zone, and other zones are free for alls. Robbing requires a corp or personal challenge, although you can issue challenges by barging into somebody's room, for instance. Necanthrope retired? I haven't actually had much time to play. The other variants are just dead, original hellmoo still has 50+ players at peak. http://pastebin.com/f74622ca aka hellmoo triumphs posted:McBain says, "Filling out offical FCPD paperwork is very serious business." edit 2 (lol): quote:On your wristpad radio: [cam-Lobby] Nivlac says, "Atleast I learned a lesson." edit: another installment of meantime on wayfar, the new planet description generators CheechLizard whipped up: quote:WY-1444 is a Mainly Industrial Hagiocracy populated by obese text game programmers fuck the ROW fucked around with this message at 06:31 on Oct 19, 2013 |

I've finally sat down and played a bit of HellMOO and it's actually pretty drat fun. Took some getting used to coming from my Diku/ROM background but I'm enjoying myself. And by enjoying myself, I mean slaughtering orphans, breaking my jaw on jawbreakers, and having sex with random NPCs for money. Edit: whoever this "cron" dude is, he's a pretty chill guy

ndy sent this lovely paste to me http://pastebin.com/f58f2ee41 from years ago since they have mostly reneged on the PVP rules (with the exception of FC) I'm probably going to play HellMOO again because I hate myself and want to die.

There's goons that play Icesus, as Vadun pointed out, but some days we end up just doing our own things and chatting rather than doing stuff together. I'd encourage you to see if you can both find a soloable guild and find the game enjoyable enough on its own merits to keep your attention; there just isn't a critical mass of goon players like you'd find in many MMOGs.

Man, adjusting to a new MUD after playing one for years is such a pain in the rear end. I would recommend goons try Realms of Despair, the PVE was fun and the immortals would have custom quests from time to time. PVP is dead though.

It's a fun MUD, but has some big problems that made me lose interest. My biggest problem was how bad casters are. You can have a lot of fun rolling up a hybrid or hitter and exploring/learning the MUD though!

HellMOO will never reach its former glory again. The oldmins hate everything and everyone that made the game good (as evidenced just there by Gilmore not even wanting Arachnotron back) and all the other admins either fell in line with them out of misplaced loyalty or tried to bring the game back and failed because of ~~~~internet drama~~~~. I probably shouldn't say anything because it'll be a miracle if anything ever happens with it, knowing myself, but I have a local copy of HellCore and am doing A Thing(tm) with it. Not Pressure; that project is long dead. Not another Hell shard; it'd just fail again. Something new. Not going to bring anyone else in on it until I've laid enough of the groundwork that I feel I can trust myself not to wash out and sit around waiting for other people to do work for me, but watch this space.

Was going to poke around and maybe clean some stuff up, but you didn't leave me with a progbit! I'm off tomorrow so I'll check back every now and then to see when you show up. You have a cleaner copy of the core than I have, at least. I'm still running with the horrible leaked one with so much stuff haphazardly chopped out that things like 'say' TB.

I feel guilty about abandoning the thing like three different times, but really despite how excited I was about it at the beginning, the more I think about it, the more I think that that style of game just wouldn't work in the context of a MUD.

I don't really give a gently caress, and this sort of pointless drama for the sake of drama is exactly why HellMOO is total poo poo now and forevermore. It isn't like my awful code wasn't perfectly at home in HellMOO's rat's nest of duct-tape-and-bubblegum coding anyway.

Yet Another Fantasy MUD We'll be able to start making content eventually!! pre:stow
robot puts away its spellbook.
wield spell in main
robot gets out its spellbook.
wield spell in off
You switch the spellbook to your offhand.
drop spell
robot drops a spellbook on the floor.
cast blorb on spell
robot closes its eyes and focuses its energy...
A magickal lockbox forms around the spellbook, protecting it.
l box
magickal lockbox
A glowing box, securely locked by magickal powers. There's no way to get it open without the person who summoned it, or their permission.
The magic may fade over time, however... It's closed.
open box
robot focuses its energy at the magickal lockbox...
The magickal lockbox fades away, spilling its contents all over the ground.
get spell

How do you learn to navigate a mud without getting lost? I am trying to break things into areas, and then trying to make a mental map of areas in relation to one another, but I still wind up getting terribly lost in a newbie area, and having to resort to a methodical search to find the last homely house. The map breaks apart in my mind and I can't figure out where exactly I am. How do overcome this newb disorientation?

Ouch. I just learned the hard way that t2tmud has a 20% of TOTAL xp death penalty. Is this overly harsh? Does anyone know much about this mud? I am only playing it because it was the first mud I discovered back in 1998. I never seriously got into it, but this time around I have learned how improve skills and level, as well as how to get gold as a newb. I am not a fan of the loosing all your stuff on log out, or the death penalty. Other than that though, who all regularly shows about 30-40 people online, which seems like a good population in this day and age. The newb helpers have been helpful as well. Is there a mud with a goon presence? Goons make everything more enjoyable. Barring that, is there a mud with persistent inventory, decent population, and a more reasonable (to me) death penalty?

Pretty much every MUD has a kinder death penalty and persistent inventory. It's the inventory thing that really boggles... Some old-school grognard type games make you quit at an inn or lose your items, but who thought "Yes, reseting the player to naked uselessness at every login will surely improve the experience"?
