Thanks! Not really an attempt though. It's an actual ad, posted in the promotions section.


Yep, for sure - most MUDs are slowly dying.

Achaea's current population isn't as big as it used to be, though is currently stable, but the number of people playing isn't how we measure success, as all players aren't equal. Last month was our best month ever in terms of players spending money - we've never brought in as much revenue in a month as last month, even adjusted for inflation (the previous best month was 8 or 9 years ago).

What's happened with Achaea, at least, is the population has aged up and matured. We used to have a lot of teenagers playing (most of whom never spent money) along with the expected 18-35 year olds, but now our population is almost entirely 20 years old+, and the average player is much more likely to be able/willing to contribute to the game financially than she was a decade ago.

Achaea's also got more full-time and part-time paid staff on it now than it ever has, reflecting that success and hopefully paving the way for more as we continually and ceaselessly work on making it and all the Iron Realms MUDs better, day in, day out.
