   still haven't penned any lines of code down, so the choice between champions and cities without number remains open
   
   kind of mulling over which to use.
   
   problem is in a MUD the level-up mechanics for both make no sense anyway, since those are based on like.. the gm just handing them out per-session.

     CWN has an interesting little bit about the rolls for installing implants, and the trauma die is weird. there's a die each weapon has and a separate AC that if you beat it then it counts as a critical hit. crits don't just do big damage -per se- but if you are downed in a fight where you took one then there's a whole injury table about it.
     
     champions doesn't really do this. it just has killing and stun damage and there isn't really an answer to medicine et all.
     
     "just make rules up quinn" yes but i dislike venturing too far in to the weeds more than i have to

     @icedquinn I played diku/merc rom, it was a heavily pvp mud with looting and permadeath. Probably put in over 100,000 hours. But there's no reason to play muds now that there are unity games that do what muds do with a full graphical environment

     @icedquinn you should really play Eco global survival before you make a game, it's the best game that has ever been made and should set the standard going forward

     @icedquinn yeah I played almost exclusively diku/merc. I remember having fun in a good godwars mud and a star wars reality one but other than that I stuck firmly with my own game

     @icedquinn lmk if you get motivated enough to try playing again, I'm always game. The hardest part is finding a good server so we might try 3-4 times over the course of a year before we get a good wipe. Where "try" means getting up the motivation, looking at the server list, seeing there are no servers recently wiped with the settings we want, and forgetting about it for another month or so

     @icedquinn no, all jobs are always important and you should eject that idea from your mind. When you were complaining you had nothing to do in that wipe I was starved for items that you could make and refused to make

     @s8n@posting.lolicon.rocks @icedquinn@blob.cat
     
     The main server i played on ran on a cracked server version which stopped being updated once the microtransactions were added in (totally because stronger DRM and not because the cracker got drafted and droned the next day), and it always had the issue of a low playerbase eventually quitting in the mid-to-lategame because everyone else did. I think the only successful cycles were in 9.6.2 (because one player eventually got themselves 3 accounts to solo the game) and 9.7.3 (because the lack of diminishing returns on multiple rooms of the same type present only in that version allowed a 200+ bedroom skill pagoda to be built letting a solo player get all skills).
     
     It's a shame because my experience on that server for a single week made me buy the game at full price (virtually unheard of) in spite of the massive performance issues present pre-9.7 and the exploits being demonstrated. Eco is definitely not a game you can try out alone.
     
     I'm currently on a break from it but willing to get back if it gets someone else to play again, so also let me know if you decide to do so.
