I agree that a blend of good "newbie" areas as well as good hero areas are needed if a mud is going to last. I know on the mud I am head builder on I want to present challenges to all levels of players and have some builders working on newbie areas others in the mid range and couple on hero areas as well.
If a player leaves simply because stock areas are in place. What of the muds that are just starting and working with a good team of builders to develop original areas to replace the stock ones. This will not happen overnight, Since deciding to leave without giving the mud a chance will you come back in a few months to see if anything has changed?
Sorry to stray from topic but I have been wondering about those who post that if they see stock areas they leave immediately. While I realize stock areas are overused and passe, it takes time to develop areas to replace them.
Do you come back in a few months to see if things have changed? or just move on become an "elitist" type player that won't see the forest for the trees?
