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

While the adage may seem tired, and not always hold true, I have played games where the quantity of players was high but the quality of game-play (my subjective opinion) was low. I have also played MUDs where the added quantity of rooms and areas actually lowered the quality of the game-play by spreading the player population so thin that role-play became a chore (that involved trying to find other characters that were in the same world).

So while the two (quality and quantity) are not mutually exclusive in every situation, the addition of quantity to a game is not always a boon to game-play. A lot of what would determine "quality" would depend on what each individual player found entertaining.

This likely deserves it own thread. My apologies to the OP for the derail.
