A plea to Landis,
Landis, assuming you ever read this string of posts, I'd like to suggest bringing DO back. Now don't cackle yet, consider the following: Darkover was a common good that players and admin enjoyed; it was more than a hobby--a club of those who simply enjoyed mudding and the DO environment. It was a great mud. I know this from experience with DO and others, and I've heard ditto from those who have been around the MUD universe and selected DO as their MUD home.
If doing the admin stuff became a burden, and I can understand how it could get that way over the years, why not let others handle this? Or sell (if people buy and sell such things, of course) the mud to someone who can carry the torch?
When I was younger I thought I'd outgrow RPGs etc... but I changed my mind; I'll play these damn things until I can no longer type or can't have an internet connection!
Do I hear an amen?!
Give yourself a break by all means if that's what you need, but we would all like to see DO come back. Surely someone could help with the server admin like booting etc.... Besides, I had just gotten dolo for crying out loud--have mercy based on that! The rumors of DO3 were intersting too. It would be a shame not to implement some of that.
Bah...now I've just been sappy on a public MUD message board.
That's gotta be worth a return of DO. How does January sound?
Cheers,
Lythande.
