Ah, the complexities of this world!
Lost in a sea of sand and stone, alone against the wolves of the alleys.

If you can't understand that, this city is freaking huge and I'm not sure where to go or do.
Yes, I have read the documentation.

I defie you Allanak!

Lol, go join the T'zai Byn, find a Sergeant and tell him you'd like to join. The city becomes rather small once you get used to it. Bazaar is a huge mess of a place, though :P Yeah, the game doesn't start off giving you an objective or something (unless you play a dwarf). But I've never actually ran out of things to do since someone always tends to pull me into their plots and stuff. The learning curve for Armageddon is pretty steep though, since it doesn't have some kind of wiki like DF does.

Sowelu:

Again, I re-iterate that the codebase or media means nothing if you are determined to RP, just today we were RPing on City of Heroes. And not on Virtue / Freedom in Pocket D.

Anyone playing Arm:

Drop me a PM if you need any help anywhere, really.

I won't go wrecking your immersion, but if you're stuck, give me a PM before you do something dumb.

Protip: THINK about what you are doing before you do it. If you have time.

I love Arm for the same reason I love DF. Because you can do some incredibly stupid things and it gives fun results. Not thinking is so much fun :P

Yeah, but getting killed for a typo is harsh.

I think: "Look Templar"
I type k templar
You slash the Templar on the wrist.
The Templar and all nearby soldier grind you into a bloody pulp.
I think: "Dammit!"

(protip: don't set k as an alias for kill, leave it as meaning kiss and set ki as kill, at least then if you type k templar an npc will ignore you and a player will at least let you off reasonably lightly.

I remember Armageddon.  I got into the game with a character and then wandered aimlessly around the town for a few hours finding a bunch of non-interactive flavor NPCs.  I think I talked to one PC total while I was there.  Then I got bored at the total lack of anything to do and left, never to return.

There's very few people on off peak and most are probably off doing something since it's much easier and more rewarding to solo rp a task than say an evening in a bar.

I usually alias it to "echo Killing should be considered more carefully than that."

I was going to type that, but thatguyyaknow did it while I pressed the reply button.

Off peak is harsh, can only have around 4 players online. Heh, I used to hang out around bars during off peak to chat with new players but none showed up. So, I went on peak like the others, where there's like 60 chars online at the same time and most of the places are full of conversation spam.

i like muds but i don't play Armageddon, I play Medievia. Which has a bit of graphics. You can do alot in medievia, You can go on a ship killing pirates or serpents, you can hunt dragons or just hang with clanies. Its a pretty cool game.

My only real memory of medievia was getting on a dragon and telling to fly north, then realising I had no idea how to make it stop or land or anything, I can't even remember how I got out of that predicament, think I used whatever the newbie command was to return to the main city.
