Re: Community survey: What do MUD players want?
Honestly, I'm extremely hesitant to add pretty much anything requested by players. The lower level they are, the more hesitant I am. Naturally there are occasionally ideas that immediately seem like a good idea, but for those that are questionable or hard, I will generally not even investigate unless there's a large consensus. In a lot of cases when I do implement something players request, it's very different from the original concept.
The fact of the matter is that players think they know what they want, but in most cases don't and are incompetent to make design decisions. I've been sent requests to add 'word of death' and 'death blade' spells more times than I can remember.
