Wheel of Time MUD

Well it's Monday evening and I'm feeling a little motivated to make some more progress. So I've spent a couple more hours (~3) doing a simple change to highly tainted characters' appearance on look, since we know from the books that this is described as a rotting disease or wasting sickness. In one ...

Now to test out some of the functionality: * HP:Healthy SP:Bursting MV:Fresh > <special imm command> Atest's taint set to: 50000. He's set to max! * HP:Healthy SP:Bursting MV:Fresh > s [seize ] You feel the flows of saidin coursing through your body. Along with saidin comes an oily foulness. * HP:He...

It's now 10:30pm and I have a spare hour or so before bed. So I want to test out the changes. I boot up the test mud, which promptly crashes as it boots up. Hrm. Ah, I see in the crash log that I have forgotten an NPC check when I made the "temporary (Ways) taint" a distinct mechanic from normal tai...

I decided to go ahead and share a code blog to document the progress on a larger feature: taint v2. I will no doubt be far less entertaining than Itesh, but that's the burden I have to bear. It's a Sunday morning (~10am), and I've decided to get started on this one. I have a fairly decently written ...

At the end of the day, it's a simple issue of math: The only way to ensure growth is to make intentional and concerted efforts to recruit and then retain more new and/or returning players than we lose from people leaving. I think it would be prudent to plan for anticipated times when numbers might ...

To clarify, this isn't the scale. The scale is: don't cheat or you will get kicked out. I have never once been in ...

Not a bug.

A few notes from myself as to why I don't have the urge to play anymore. Player hatred by Imms This has been seen by me a few ways. Here are a few examples: An imm mailing another imm as a mob, saying that I had been seen doing something. Even though I was sure to never be seen by a player. An imm ...

Hi all - we've decided to make clan bonuses, including the secret clans, public to reduce some of the suspicion around what clans do and don't have. Some clans have mobol'd or eq-based perks like coaches/etc but we have (mostly) ignored those because they come and go, so this largely represents code...

So me solo smobbing is abuse? Or is it OK because I drop the equ to reequ others? Like how many times in a day can I hit SK before am in the wrong? Najdeer? Filthy? DDF?? Rene? Kural? Etc.. Three things here: 1. This isn't abuse! Many smobs are designed to be able to be soloed with the right setup ...
