Re: Avoiding mistakes in char gen/early game


Why not? There's no way you're going to learn everything that'll make for a great character at your first ever char gen. If a player joins a mud and enjoys it, 9 time out of 10 they'll make a new character anyway. No matter how many helpful tips any MUD offers at gen, your first character will NEVER be as good as your second.

As a MUD owner, it's a sign of player dedication (and in some ways, a good game), if a MUD is not a pick-up-and-go game and requires effort to learn. If it was easy and they gave you all the answers in the beginning, I think you'd see more of a revolving door of players. If it required thought and dedication, you'll see players stay and play a long time, creating new characters, new roleplay, etc.
