Love of Small MU*s
Are there any of you out there who love playing on small, new games just for the sheer challenge of it? I know that a lot of people look for big muds because they want more people with whom to interact, but are there players out there who deliberately look for smaller muds?
I know that I really enjoy new (usually smaller) games simply because I love the challenging aspect of building up the world (economy, crafting, etc.) along with being a ground breaker. When I started playing my first mud, their average player size was around 20-25 people at peak times. Most of the time, the numbers hovered around 10-15. The mud grew REALLY fast, though, but I got to be there for when gear that is considered weak now was the BEST GEAR EVER!!!!
Several of the graphical games that I played were so much fun to play when I was struggling for every piece of resource and coin I could find. No one could power level anyone else because we were forging our way into the "new world". After the games grew established, I often got bored unless there was something else, like PvP, to catch my interest.
If you like smaller muds or new games, speak now! (Does that sound too bossy?)
