HelMoo- A Mud that Bay12 would appreciate
« on: July 24, 2015, 06:05:59 pm »

HEY BAY12!

Want a MUD that has you survive in the post Apocalypse? Wanna brutalize orphans, crackheads, the elderly, and sewer mutants? Wanna eat ramen, get high and drink until you overdose? Wanna be a cannibal? You can do that stuff, and more!

Also, general discussion thread.

When possible, he prefers to eat pizza, ramen noodles, and sushi. He absolutely detests elves and spiders. He needs MTN DEW to get through the working day.

A medium- sized creature prone to great ambition, but only when he feels like it.

I mean, if I want to play HellMOO with 5 people then sure. The age of MUDs is sadly over. I remember when there were 40+ people around and there were no carebear douche rules regarding apartment burglary, PKing, and other hilarity.

HellMOO is basically shit now. Sad - it was my favorite MUD.

I wouldn't say the age of MUDs is over, just the age of HellMOO.
It is kinda sad, though. :-\

EDIT: Okay, I'm going to be obsessed with this again. Would any Bay12ers be interested in forming a guild? HellMOO has the most players, Inferno has a decent amount. My character on Inferno still has all the xp and mutations, but I don't know. Opinions on which server?

Pretty much this! There are plenty of thriving MUD games.

HellMOO (and its many offspring) is probably one of my favorite MUDs, and the one that I've spent absolutely the most time on. That being said, it's super hard to stick with, because the admins and moderators and community are always huge jerks about everything, everything goes insane within a few months, and everyone hates each other. That, coupled with the fact that if you make a real nemesis with anyone in the game who is stronger than you, they can and will prevent you from have an enjoyable time (through seeking you out with telepathy, and then murdering, taking all your things off your corpse, taking all the things from your apartment, and so on). That said, it's pretty fun for a while, and if there were a sizable playerbase again I'd totally pick it up. It has a really unique, cyberpunk setting, and the gameplay is like no other.

So I logged on to HellMOO and all my stuff is gone...was there a reset at some point? And is HellMOO or InfernoMOO currently better? Is Inferno even alive?

I'd go with infernomoo. There have been so many good quality of life changes. Easy rerolls are a biggie. I'd be game, but not sure how active and pretty sure I need to start over as well.

Edit: log in, tell zaylin he doesn't matter, got an admin star. Wonderful game.

Yeah, the InfernoMOO has a small playerbase, but people are a lot nicer and the gameplay stuff is better, so that's where I'm around for now.

Use the "oldco" command to connect to your character, it's probably still there. I have all my xp and skills, although my cash and items were all gone.

They seem to be in decline. Like Cthulhu however they may someday rise again

MUDs still (and probably for a long time, will) have a steady audience. It's not huge, but it is steady. I'd probably attribute a lot of that to blind users who can't really access many other games.

So, I may have just inadvertently caused a player wipe. Well, EAZY did, but I found the bugs related to what EAZY did that results in this happening.

Edit: Senate meeting in a few hours to discuss.

Edit the second: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT.
