Re: Reaching out beyond text MUDs
I agree with nearly all of this. Forget the client. Make the creation and playability quick and easy. NW is similar to Mina's second paragraph. As an immigrant in the game you start off with a few skills and powers. More things are learned as you go through.
What I don't like about the GUI MUDS I've tried, especially this latest one RUNESCAPE. They make you go through this tutorial that is cumbersome and annoying as hell. As if you are some neophyte to online gaming. This should be opted out of as a choice. Let me play and play now, not spend 12 hours in a newbie area or tutorial.
