Re: Ganking MMO*s

As I posted elsewhere, this is an inefficient way to attract people to muds.

MUD players are readers. They are attracted to the written (or typed) word. I can't think of any better place to attract a would-be mudder than a public library. People who LOVE to read, who LOVE becoming engrossed in a story, are the -most- likely to enjoy roleplaying a character in an ongoing story such as a MUD. People who LOVE to read, are found in greater numbers in libraries. If you want to extoll the virtues of the online text-based roleplaying game, why not volunteer to participate in a "fantasy-lover's book club" at your local library, in a "special session" between books? Or even better, create a "Fantasy-lover's book club" and when the club is finished with one book, and before moving to another, do a whole series on muds; what they are, maybe printed screen-shots, etc. etc. etc.
