Re: Do MUDs need to be "brought into the 21st century"

As a quick sidenote, Alter Aeon also doesn't fight over the limited pool of mud vets. We get virtually no players from TMS or TMC, and at least half of our userbase is true first timers. I'm ok with that. In a lot of ways, the preconceived notions that most vets have about how muds should be run is more of a hindrance than a help.

I recognized the 'shrinking pool' problem quite some time ago, as I'm sure most of the other major muds have. I suspect most of the major games already have pans in the fire on the problem, or have focused on some niche so as to avoid it. They didn't get big by being stupid.
