A Step Back [Making a MUD?]

Meh · 12-28-2007, 01:45 PM

I'm not sure if this has already been considered, but have you all ever thought about taking a step back and making a MUD instead of a graphic MMO?

I ask this for a couple reasons, the obvious one being ease of development.

The expectations of people developing and playing Uberworlds is very high, this is Fire of Heaven after all. And as much as I believed in this project my attention faded as a lot of peoples did. This being said all of us have probably played a MUD or two and wouldn't mind playing one again. It would also most likely appeal to the FoH community more due to the fact it can be run and played in the background very easily.

As a developer you could implement and test your idea's quicker and easier. The server or bandwidth would be cheaper as well as easier to maintain. Most importantly of all the work you do on the MUD is acting as a backbone for a future graphic MMORPG.

This a pretty good idea I think. From what I remember, coding them wasn't too difficult either. Not to mention, you can have awesome 2d art pictures for rooms and what not appear ala GS3

I seem to recall Req was hosting an old MUD a while back ago?

Anyone know of a program that would aid someone in creating a MUD? I would like to tinker with it, but I don't have the programming knowledge to do it from scratch.
