Re: Reaching out beyond text MUDs

One thing I think people are forgetting is interaction with other players.
As you all know by now,I have been trying to get into IRE muds and specifically Achaea for some time,but because of RP requirements,I was never able to.
I switched to BatMud,but somehow I got bored of it or something.
Anyway,I am still playing BatMud,but this week,I decided to give Achaea another try and I have to say that this time around,I like what I am doing. Much of this change is due to me being a Monk,instead of a Ranger or Paladin.
At least in Achaea, the Monk provides much more interest(at least to me). In addition, there is the interaction with other players. In the Monk clan, people are helping at all times. They guide newbies during their first steps and further.
Contrary to the Monks, what I have found is that the paladins and the rangers(which I have experienced) only give the reading material and let you deal with everything alone. And that is something that doesn't help newbies.
A solution to this problem is to have more official helpers per users number
