I have been looking for a long time to find a mud to "sink my teeth into" yes that was the quote from the Worlds-apart home page made from the PC gamers. Eternal-City was the best mud around, it had a user friendley interface, uniqe world and game play that made u always want more. Well now the pricks at Skotos have made this game a pay cheque unfriendely game, and im unwilling to pay, The reason i need help people is that im looking for that new EC, if u have played any games that match or blow eternal-city right out of the water tell me, i really need help cause i have not found that MUD yet, im begging u easy my suffering.

exactly what was it about TEC that you liked?

Wenlin · 05-28-2002, 10:58 PM

Hmm, I tried TEC when I thought mud was wet dirt. TEC was pretty impressive from my newbie point of view. Looking back, the pros seem to be good roleplaying, level-less system, and goto command...
also, realistic damage, (heh, sometimes my arm got gashed and started bleeding, people looked at me REAL funny

) and if you get your leg broken, you can't walk, if your arm is broken, you can't swing your sword. Heights are accurate too, a mouse cannot hit you in the eyes, only below the waist.

ehh, cons, which I don't think are fixed by mudding for a year is that the city is HUGE AND CONFUSING. They got player made maps, but it doesn't completely help.
Lotta players, even though the system is freely pk, I think, you get in trouble for killing innocent adventurers. But the mess of players makes sure that all the zones are "camped", as in they are filled with people already there and doing anything might get you accused of killstealing.
Skills seemed kind of hard to get better at...

Ehh, it has been a VERY long time, years, since I set foot in the confusing world of TEC, but the Nazi of Soup's argument has facts behind it...

Isn't this a little more appropriate for another forum?

No one has really awnsered my question, Yes i have tryed Realms of Despair, but i cant get the grip on it like i did with EC, i know it may not be a Role-Players Haven but i think it is a solid game, i could emerse myself into.

The proplum im having with all these new muds is that i cant find out what is goin on, it is to much so fast, like in EC people where friendly (most of the time) and would help u when u needed it, like where the hunting grounds are and where i buy weapons, but in these games like RD i cant find some one to give me the time of the day, yes they are friendly but it is so hard for them to find u with all these dumb ass portals, #### i cant find anything to hunt and when i do it is too big are scary and it just ends up sending me to the All forgiving gods that give u a lecture and send u back to get slaughterd. K im not ripping this game im sure it is a fine mud, i just like games that are easy to follow and fun to come back to, Has anyone played EC? if u have u will no where im coming from.

So again i ask anyone know of a JAVA game thats meets the greatness of Eternal-City!
