Re: Advertising Woes
I understand your confusion and almost didn't post the excerpt and link, but decided to anyway to showcase the fallicy of creating a MUD without forthought to the many snafus that occur in MUD administration including the crossroads of advertising. I felt that it was a very important object lesson and valid for that reason, eventhough it doesn't directly address the question.
As for finding players. I agree that there is a huge untapped market for players who don't even know about MUDs. I'm still trying to remember the post Threshold made about the blackberry style machine that had millions of subscribers and was text only. I would love to work up a campaign with a few MUDs for that machine alone assuming we could agree on a proposal. Perhaps it was E-books? E-something. I can't remember.
