Music Maven: The EQ Killer

Millie · 12-07-2002, 01:09 PM

I have discovered the next great online game! It's quick, it's easy, and it's got an infinite number of possibilities.

http://www.musicmaven.lunarpages.com/

Music Maven lets you create your own band (select from one of up to 50 genres), manage the group, and do just about anything else with them. The goal is to tour successfully, make top-selling albums, and acquire groupies and such.

It's a very easy game to play, once you figure out what you're doing. The possibilities for bands are limitless, and actually quite humorous. Right now I'm managing a boy band called "Boy Town." They're getting all the songs worked out for their debut album. They'll soon take the Top 10 charts by storm.

If you don't visit the Music Maven website for a week, then you've missed 7 months of your band's career!

Yay! When I play this I get to live with the fear of falling behind every time I take a break...Just like EQ!

Unlike EQ, Music Maven is turn-based. You just choose what changes you want to make, set your band's schedule, and then run off to live your life. Every night at midnight EST, the game takes its turn (1 month game time = 1 night RL time). You are free to see what happened to your band the next day, and set your new schedule.

Playing the game takes less than 10 minutes per day, tops. Hardly the sort of time commitment you'd expect from the line in the FAQ you quoted.

Yeah, I know. Was just kidding about that

The FAQ quote just sorta stuck out as something SoE would say on the back of an EQ box

Looks pretty fun, I usta play games like this on a local BBS. Legend of the Red Dragon is the one I remember best, usta use my daily turns every day before going to grade school. Fun Stuff.

Anyone remember Funeral quest? Worked the same way pretty much. It got to the point that by 12:15 I had already blew all my turns.

Hey, cool game!

Not a bad way to spend a few minutes daily.

archmage too, or gangwars

"Straight to the top Johnny!"

"And where is that?"

"to the toppermost of the poppermost!"

My band and I, Johnny Harms and the Criminoids, are going to straight to the top!

Thanks for posting this

I'm thinking my new group 'Dogma' will be reaching the toppermost of the poppermost far before you Sir

Irony And Sarcasm Will Destroy Us All are clearly the band to beat in the 20teens. We've already fired our drummer, hah.

The Girl Band "Old School" will Triumph!

I invite you all to join my label, Kama Sutra Records.

This game is more fun than Eq ever was, at least for music geeks like myself

Araysar · 12-09-2002, 12:08 AM

My band Mertonica has applied to the Kama Sutra records, hook us up, cause we dont have gas money to get to the next show...

P.S. Our band motto only reaffirms our defiant stance towards the music business and our non-sellout stance. We're gonna keep rocking forever!
