Re: Ganking MMO*s

I'm actually recruited from my writer's group, but ultimately, that ended my writer's group for me. I got so many questions about game design and game administration that it ate up all my writing critique time.

I don't think that going to gamers is a dead end at all. It's harder to get people to log onto a computer than to get people who are already logged on to read. The problem, in my opinion, is simply that lots of the people who play MMOs don't have any idea that MUDs even exist as a game and a viable option for gaming. Doesn't it make sense to try to get the people who are already online and interested in gaming than people who are NOT online, may not even have a computer, and love reading so much that they regularly go to a library to log on? I'm not saying that there's no reason not to do both, but I do believe that MU* admins need to be thinking of ways to tap into the MMO market.
