Re: Are MUDs still popular?

Quite a few of my players are first-time mudders - it seems my game doesn't appeal to most of the established mudders. It's certainly possible to attract players without deliberately poaching them from other muds.

However I think it's always going to be the case that the majority of players will play a minority of muds. In fact Raph Koster wrote an interesting article about back in 2007, in which he discussed the same trend in MMORPGs.

If you've already got something playable, then I'd go for it. It was always reaching that point that was the major road bump for me.

Because of the client? If you want a custom GUI, it's really .
