Re: Avalon - The Legend Lives

Actually you'll find that most of the posters on these forums are experienced players and/or developers, and already have a favourite MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) where they hang out. As such, opening your promotion by insulting the competition is perhaps not the best way to attract a positive reaction. You might instead want to focus on what you offer that other MUDs don't.

Note that there are in fact several Avalon-style MUDs out there - the guilds and balance/affliction-based combat in particular seem to have become almost the standard for new commercial MUDs. Avalon has a valid claim to being the first such MUD, and is certainly of historical interest, but that alone is unlikely to impress prospective players who have seen the same features on several other MUDs.
