Bay12MUD
« on: February 12, 2010, 01:16:44 am »
I was thinking of starting my own MUD. I have the software, I just need somewhere to host it (my router does not allow port forwards).

It wouldn't necessarily be DF-related, but it would be for the B12 community!

WHATEVER THIS IS I AM FULLY FOR IT

EDIT: Okay, I read the post, and it is very awesome! It would be more awesome if it was DF-related, of course... but still!

EDIT2: How about making a DF-themed MUD where teams have to cooperate, as in Dwarf Fortress, to run a fortress? You could have a few boring roles, like miners or farmers, but supplement them with incredible skill gain or something (thus mining/farming/cooking would be the grinding part of the game). Then you'd have the exciting battle roles, and glorious kinds of things - maybe have quests where you get a mood and have to obtain certain crafts to make an artifact, send out traders defended by heavily armed mercs to trade with the Mountainhomes, defend against sieges, etc.

EDIT3: This is a great place to use your Foot Soldiers system... well, not that much. But sort of.

my router is tricky on port forwards but if it's not too intensive I might be able to do it, as I have about 8 computers lying around my place.

There was formerly a project of the sorts in the works, which has since been replaced by WikiFirmament IIRC

Unfortunately, the system I'm using doesn't work like that and I don't have the know-how to make my own.

Like I said in pm, I can host for 5 hours a day or more on weekends...
What kind of MUD will this be?
