Wow. That's very interesting. I am definitely going to look into that. Thanks!

You are 100% right. That's why Primordiax will not be opening back up as a mud. We have plans to transform it into a different type of game, utilizing the game world, game mechanics, writing, world design, lore, and as much of the code as possible.

We have taken a lot of code and gameplay elements and already brought them over to . So Threshold's players have already benefited enormously in the last year from this.

We decided that Primordiax as a mud would just split our player base and not do anyone any good. That's why we closed it up and are repurposing it to be a very different, and very awesome game.

One of the benefits of being a small, indie studio is that you can do crazy stuff like that. So we are taking advantage of one of our strengths.

Exactly. We still love MUDs, we still love the MUD community, and we intend to keep Threshold going for 50-100+ years or longer. But as far as the further growth of the company we want to make a wide variety of games and hopefully bring some of those gamers back into mudding when they decide to try out our other stuff.

We've already seen that as some players have become new Threshold players.

It is slow, and the numbers are not huge, but anything that brings brand new people to MUDs is something I am very excited about.
