Re: N00b's first MUD

Sindome isn't necessarily easy to learn, because there is a LOT to it, but, we do call it "newbie friendly" because nothing bars a brand new player from beginning to play right away. It DOES have a lot of players on all the time and they are very helpful to new players, both in in-character ways and out-of-character ways. We see new players every week, many who are totally new to M** games, who stick around and create lasting characters.

The game does not satisfy your requirement of "NO permadeath", permadeath if of course POSSIBLE, but, it only happens rarely and almost never to someone who is actively trying to avoid it. It happens to first-day noobs who don't read room descriptions and warning signs, and it happens to people who roleplay IC actions which make people want to retaliate.

Even the real ****-stirrers can avoid permadeath VERY easily.

Player volume is 10-15 at the SLOWEST times (very late at night, U.S. time) and rises to peak over 40 for sustained periods every day. U.S. daylight and evening hours are the most populated, but there are ALWAYS people on and plots and roleplay are VERY active EVERY day.
