Builders, what do you look for in a MUD?
I'm posting this thread to find some feedback on what actual builders might look for in a MUD, and their building habits.
My initial questions would be.
1.) Type?
Do you look for a certain type of mud to build at, like roleplay enforced, PK only, etc. Why do you want this type of mud.
2.) Style?
What style do you try to adhere to when you build. Do you prefer to do only certain types of areas, like geography only. Or perhaps cities only. Do you lean towards building a vile, sinister area, full of crime, sex, and drugs, or would you rather build a bright shining city of light, the bastion of good and purity.
3.) Room length?
What room length do you like to build to? 4 lines? 5? 6? 1? What is a good room length in your opinion. And why?
4.) NPCs?
What types of NPCs do you like to build. Good? Evil? Certain types of races? Why?
5.) OLC?
Do you prefer a huge, intricate OLC system with all sorts of features or a more simple offline building program.
6.) Mud setting?
What mud setting do you look for? General medieval fantasy? Sword and sorcery? Hack n slash? Or are you more stringent and seek out muds based on books like Wheel of Time, Dragonlance, etc.
7.) MUD rules?
Do you look for a mud with lots of building rules, strict guidelines etc. Or a more laid back style where you're allowed almost free reign of an area.
8.) Color?
Do you require color on a mud to build at it?
9.) Established mud?
Do you look for a MUD that has forums, website, and a player community, with a deep rooted base to build at? Or are you more of a creator that wants to find a mud that is up and coming and help the needy.
10.) Anything else you can think of mentioning here!
Thanks.
