Re: Mudding Communities Are Alive and Well in Alter Aeon
The article certainly got me to AA for a look, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun I was having after creating a chracter, however a little dip deeper in (which I always do before I start getting into a game) revealed you can buy credits which can be used for items, clan housing and storage (NICE!) but also for buying practices which are used for increasing stats (Boo!).
So sadly I said a goodbye after a brief flirtation as I believe in pay for perks or even paid subscription.. but, I do not believe in pay for player power in any format where money can give an advantage.
BUT the article got me there and was a great read, and the game looked like a nice traditional MUD and was great fun.
Re. the article.. I have often mentioned how muds are so perfectly suited to the visually impaired (only a few days ago actually on a completely unrelated forum) and love that historical part of this game and spent an enjoyable hour or so just reading the AA website, guides, helpfiles etc.
