Wheel of Time MUD

Might help if /r/wotmud wasn't a private sub.

I had the same problem, at roughly the same time. It went away about 5 minutes later or so. The server wouldn't ping during that time either, at least for CMUD. Didn't try mudlet.

Any of these coders Thrasymachas is talking about reading this thread and can chime in on the scope of a project he is talking about? I only took 3 intro programming classes in college so I can only guess on what it would take to accomplish half of what is being thought up for a dedicated client......

Everybody should have at least one prac in survival and carry a dagger, so they can butcher deer or other critters in the wilderness if they run out of food.

I think a client is the best answer for things the players can do, particularly those coders who so want to help the game, but can't get into the server side of things for reasons we're all familiar with by now, and which no amount of complaining will change.

Regenning downtime isn't that bad when you're with a partner and they don't afk at every opportunity. But if you're solo, then regenning downtime is time that could be spent better doing literally anything else. If I'm going to just sit around doing nothing half the time, then I'm going to sit aroun...

Ripping in pk isn't always a big deal, but it can be often enough. Most often, you'll see your stuff left, or you might lose your gold and the best gear on ya.
