Hey everyone, it’s Tark’s first review in a while! I’ve been playing Darkwind for a few weeks now when I’ve found the time to do so, and it’s the first LPMUD that I can say that I’ve been having a blast with. The staff is great, the players are super awesome and helpful to my noob self, and overall it’s a great game. It does, of course, have a few shortcomings that are covered in the review.

Also, my first official reading of fan correspondence at the start of the episode. Melissa is a wonderful person, and you can be sure that I’ll be taking her game for a spin once she opens it up.

One more thing! I’m looking for a graphic designer to spruce up the logo. Get in touch with me if that’s something you’d be interested in. I’ll pay you in exposure! And money!

This episode is mostly concerned about what to do when you don’t really have a player base for your MUD. Anything from scaling zones to mob party members that behave more like other players, something has to exist in your game that keeps people playing even when there’s no one else home.

So, pretty simple episode this week. Just some talk about attracting, and possibly keeping, players. It’s really all kind of general stuff that’s probably been said a lot of times before, but I like to think I gave a fairly unique twist to it.

Episode 20: Can Someone Help Me?

For episode twenty, I decided to talk about that thing that’ll keep me from giving your game more than a five minute try. Help files! So often, these delicious nuggets of information are left to themselves, without updates, organization, or any of that helpy goodness that makes a good game a great game.
