Re: When do you stop reading?

1) How much are you willing to read before you get into the game?
-about a page if I have high expectations about the game, else very little, maybe a couple sentances.

2) About how much text are you okay with seeing before you decide "That's just too much; I'm not reading it."?
-Really depends, the quality of the text is importaint. If it is very informative, and consitant with the theme of the MUD, a fair amount. If it is out-of-date, poor, or whatever, none.

3) Are you more interested in knowing about the lore before you get into the game or after you get into the game?
-You should learn most lore in-game. At the begining one should know only the very basics. needed to take the first steps.

4) Is the lore more important to you at first (while you're developing your character), or are you more interested in knowing about the mechanics?
-Lore should explain the mechanics. They should be connected. I should learn both, and learning the lore should be part of learning to play well.

5) Do you rely on intuition or accessible docs first?
-I want to be able to call things up on a help file, a board, or whatever.

6) What will make you simply stop reading?[/quote]
-Too long, not well edited, too much info, out of role info, etc.
