Nice advertizement attempt from you guys.

As a matter of fact, others can not verify any of your statements at all - they don't have access to these statistics or logs and do not know whether you tampered with it or not. Now sure you can claim that you did not tamper with it, but how can OTHERS verify that?

I think MUDs have been slowly dying and I can refer to LPC-muds here.

I recall in the 1995 to 2000 range, a MUD I used to play a lot managed to have peak activity at about 70 players maximum, and on average well above 20-30.

Come 2014, the same MUD has a peak activitity of at max 20 players, and an average of 1-5 players.

So those numbers are speaking for themselves.

That is not to say that all MUDs are dwindling down, mind you, but for most MUDs, the great days are definitely over.

The whole www changed meanwhile in those 20 years guys.

MUDs are dying and there is no way to stop that trend.
