Re: Looking for Suggestions

Normally Delerak's blunt approach doesnt sit well with me, but in this case he is bang on the nail. There are lots of MUD's out there.. some have had great features unique to themselves.. and sadly the majority are souless, quiet affairs that are doomed to die a lonely, unseen death.

You have admitted you dont have the basic tools / skills to create a MUD alone but there are always MUD's with established team crying out for deleveloper / builders.

Not only that, but the administration side will be a nightmare should you get going..developers / coders do not (usually) make the best people-person's, and not only that but with the small player base available.. it would be soul destroying when the only person playing is yourself during testing.

Of course it would be a magnificent feat, and would no doubt be very self gratifying.. but without the passionate interest of others, it would very difficult to maintain the impetus to finish.

Join an estalished team, learn everything you need whilst jotting your own plans / ideas on paper and take it from there. You wont necessarily need to be a player, though you would be expected to play for a wee while to learn how the current engine works.
