Misinterpreting "you still play HellMOO for the rape"? You tell me the proper interpretation then, and maybe you can take your own advice and act like an adult instead of lashing out at me for posting wrong.

I'm a little disappointed that the BatMUD folks are shitheads. I thankfully didn't encounter any of that in my first few hours in the game, but if I want a generic fantasy MUD that I can grind for hours in, I understand there are at least one or two alternatives kicking around somewhere.

tbh i would try out other MOOs and MUDS or whatever but im yet to find one thats anywhere near as immersive as sindome
cybersphere has better mechanics but the rp kinda sucks rear end

i tried to get my friend into his first mud with sindome, which seemed pretty cool. we scrounged up enough money to buy some butterfly knives and were rp practicing flipping them out and stabbing trash bags in an alleyway. good times

anyway, a random event happened where an untargetable npc stole the leftover money we had and we couldnt chase or attack or do anything about it. quit pretty soon after lol.

i mean that's gonna happen if you're not very perceptive and hanging out in a dark, foggy ghetto with loose money in your pocket yeah
i agree it kind of sucks that you cant target the npc that does it though

Just in time for me to start playing. Great!


Ages ago I used to play a MUD called Utopia, which was great because it was a colony-building game that was turn-based (you allocated actions once every 24 hours) and also the entire competition reset every 4 months so snowball strategies were kept in check.

I think Earth Empires/Earth 2025 (which will be here in 3 years lol) were the inheritors of that one.

Hey there! I remember playing Utopia back in 1998 or so, on the school library computer. I remember really liking some of the MIDI music, but not knowing where it was from. Eventually recognized one of the themes when I first saw Conan the Barbarian.

But correct me if I’m wrong, please: Utopia was a web-based team strategy game, not a MUD, right?
There was a little forum for your little kingdom/guild to communicate internally, and you’d use it to coordinate landgrab raids against other kingdoms.

I recall the most important thing was to never let more than 24 hours pass between logins, because you’d lose out on actions.

Do you mean reaching level 100, your professions true cap, or capping out everything you can get via Ascension?

If level 100, then it would take less than two years of regular experience gain. There is a new post-cap hunting ground, the Hinterwilds, that was recently released and one can buy a ship and do some sailing. Open Sea Adventures is a fairly neat system to engage with.

But fashion is truly the end game and you can do that at level 0.

Does simutronics have a lore bible that's been kept up to date for decades? I have so many Dragonrealms mysteries I'd love to have solved.

I can't really speak to the DR side of things since I'm on the GS side, though I am fairly certain that there is an 'official' wiki of sorts for that game so maybe they've filled it out? We've done that for the GS side of things, which has had staff and player input to flesh it all out.

It's like this, Peanut
I've created tons of three-character aliases and nicknames for thieving and skinning and tanning and street repair to get it just right, but Discworld on my ancient phone with its lovely touch keyboard has become an absolute boon for my two-bus daily commute. I'm learning the Djelian language by hanging out in the marketplace browsing the stalls and listening to NPC chatter. I wander around Ankh-Morpork repairing streets and picking pockets for fun and profit. If they see me in Sto Lat they try to shove me in a trebuchet. The game map is enormous and there are so many ways to get around. It's brilliant fun.
