Re: which mud has the highest average number of online player ?

The question then is is the experience on a pirate server is the same as on the official WoW servers. Every game community has its "bad players".

I played on an online game a few years where newbies were seen as bad by some players. In the start the game had some 80 players online average, and after 2 years the average was 10 players online. In a way a minority kicked out the majority of players. As players quit playing and no new players wanted to stay as they kept get PKd.

Handling bad players is an administrative task. If the game feel bad because of rude/misbehaving newbies/regulars it is because of poor moderation. Not necessarily a sign that large player base implies less quality.
