Re: Unwritten Legends: Searching for Player Testers.
Well according to their TMS listing they've got an average of 51-75 players online at any given time, so they must be doing something right.
But generally I agree - if they're that popular now, despite the brutal entry barrier, making the game more accessable to newbies could give their playerbase a major boost.
I've not used my ISP email address for several years, and I'm not sure if I can even access it any more. But even if I could, I'm generally very loath to identify myself on muds - when I do I often draw attention from staff, sometimes positive sometimes negative, and if I'm there to play all I really want is to be treated like any other player.
You can actually work out the country from the IP address with a fair degree of accuracy - it's not perfect, but it's probably more reliable than asking people. I collect quite a bit of data myself, as it's useful for planning events and shaping development decisions.
