Re: Moving characters between MUDs

I think some time ago Avalon: The Legend Lives offered players from Avalon: First Age to carry their characters over to Avalon: The Legend Lives.

Basically for any of you who are confused, Avalon: First Age was created because several players were unhappy with all the new abilities and updates that had been introduced to Avalon, and reckoned that the un-updated version of Avalon was already good enough. Therefore the old version, Avalon: First Age was created to suit their needs.

Eventually, half-abandoned by Genesis without any updates or whatsoever, and with a lack of new players, First Age began to die out. Therefore Genesis allowed something called a 'voyage of apotheosis'. Players who took that voyage were given a lifetime subscription to Avalon: The Legend Lives at a discount rate (tho its free now, so not sure if they made/lost money lol) They could keep their skills, professions, gold, items and various other stuff.

But yeah, to have multiple game worlds where you can switch your characters around, its rather tough because the MUDs will need to have similar mechanics and such, and therefore it ends up just being one big MUD with the extra hassle of switching characters around if you want to visit different areas.

Definitely a thumbs-down for me.
