All,
I've been looking at player #s at the place I work, and at some of the other 'bigger' muds out there, and I've noticed a pretty big drop in the last 12-18 months or so. Not just my place, but many others. So, I think, first we need to understand why, then we can do something about it.
My hunch (and only a hunch) is that things like x-box etc have taken a lot of the audience away into "closed" platforms, ie they don't acess the web and look for their online entertainment but instead find it inside their closed network of x-boxy type games.
That's about the only big thing that I can think of has changed in the last 2 years or so - hence the accellerated drop during that time. Anyone have any other thoughts?
Can I also request that moderators please moderate this thread strongly - ie keep the trash talk and personal attack nonsense off. That other thread on mud PR is a terrible advert for this place. Thanks.
