Shadowstorm has been reborn! If your interested in a roleplaying mud with combat like a hack and slash mud then this is the place for you! SS features an automap feature that shows all the possible links you can follow. Those newbies won't get lost anymore! It also features, farming, herb gathering, mining, and is soon to featue smelting and item creation. We have a remort system, become up to 6 different classes at once! We have leveling pets that can learn passive skills, and train skills that you can use with a pet bar ( that part coming soon ). We have player houses, you can set your own descriptions, invite people into your home and even furnish it with mobs and objects. And if you should decide to sell your home you actually recieve back some of your investment! Unique objects that load on random high level mobs. These items level with you! They gain hitroll, damroll, and even dieroll! So as you grow so does your weapon!Once the item reaches max level you have the ability to increase their power further using the consecrate system. We featue all of this and much much more!! So if you are interested in an ever evolving mud with friendly immortals come by and visit!

I am not flaming, but I have a suggestion.

If you are in need of a head builder and 2-3 other builders (as your post in another thread indicates), wouldn't that imply that maybe now is not the best time to be advertising for players?

Anyone who comes and plays your game under such conditions will likely be turned off, and then never try it again. Whereas if you waited to advertise for players when you had things more stable, you might actually get and keep people.

I don't quite understand this.

If the Mud is an old one, reborn as the OP says, it probably is already fully playable. There is nothing in his post to indicate that the code is unstable, and why wouldn't they advertise for new builders to expand their world? Even old and established Muds do that.

Good luck with the project, Synon29. It sounds like you have some interesting features.

Agreed. From this and his other post, it seems clear that he's already got a fully playable game, and is now interested in expanding it to include new areas and features. Adding new content is an important part of retaining existing players, but there's no reason you should stop inviting new players as well!
