I wouldn't site a website that discusses any MUD that is full of people who are disgruntled and now (childishly) spew all the "secret info" like venom a good example of anything. In Armageddon's case, they are not even close to fading. They have more people on at peak on a regular day than they used to get for HRPTs back 12 years ago when I was first playing there.

How do you bring back a MUD that's fading? I don't know that you can. The only thing that will keep a MUD from dying is a combination of niche, player and staff dedication and the ability to grow with its player base. Look at SWMUD, still around after all these years. Look at Armageddon Mud, still around. How many have come and gone? No amount of incentives is going to change the inevitable. What it will do is temporarily resuscitate.
