I have no idea, I've never gotten too far into it, and there's always too much crazy stuff going on for me to really remember it all. I remember that one time I got locked in someone's apartment with a bunch of others, with just a videocamera and a heap of weapons, and everyone started hallucinating... So this game certainly does have some good points.

I played the new "After The End" for a couple of months, but got tired with it pretty quickly is its the same old bull as usual. There's only 2 ways to play this game as far as I can tell and one of them is open to veteran "goons" (or whatever they are) only.
The other way is a constant uphill battle where your best shot is to somehow either appease the mercurial goons of godlike powerlevel so they won't gank and rob you at random, or simply to lay as low as possible to avoid drawing attention to yourself. The second part is best done by never talking to anyone, ever and by never joining a corp, in my experience.

This was my experience with the game 2 or 3 years ago when I played it for the first time and this was my experience with the game 3 or 4 months ago when I played it again.
Even the names of the people who gank you are pretty much the same.
This is the most static and least "new" player friendly game I ever played.

Like I said earlier in the thread, Hellmoo is like that abusive spouse you keep going back to. Anyone that aren't part of the secret elite of the game pretty much have the gaming equivalent of battered spouse syndrome.

I don't mind being ganked, really! It's just people who blather on about completely ooc stuff, fail to use punctuation and grammar, and have walls of nonsensical text in their descriptions who ruin the game.
RP-enforced Hellmoo would be f***in' awesome.

ha ha ha

Actually, I wouldn't mind the ganking and dickery so long as they put some creativity in it. Passion, man! Hurl some molotovs, blow me up in a suicide bombing, throw a severed phallus at my head hard enough to kill me. Spice it up!

Yoink: You forgot your jacket. It's at my place if you feel like picking it up.

Dakk: Apparently they cut down on the grind, and teaching is apparently preferred. Don't know what that's worth to you, but that's what I've gathered.

I'm pretty sure that they removed the limit of grinding to 6 raw, though, so essentially you can grind a ton more if you want, but people don't all grind to 6 raw and then buy the rest anymore. I may be wrong, though.
Also it seems to me like some npc's don't go to sleep anymore. Tried to do the old 'follow commander andy into his room and scavenge booster packs to sell back to him' deal but the store was open at 4am.

Got some reinforcing correspondence from an (in)famous figure.

GOASTS should be safe to stay in, or at least as safe as could be expected given the circumstances. I hope.

EDIT: Anyone interested in clubs, let me know. I can bash together some razor bats if you give me the ingredients (1 Baseball bat, 2 rusty razor ribbon). I 'may' be able to teach it now. I don't know.

Man, trying to set up MUSHclient back to the way I had it is a pain in the ass. You know, having chat/trade output to a separate window, and having the colors set up much like the HellMOO client was (it just looked purdier).

[Dimitri]

Whelp, I can't teach. Oh well.

[Rakonas]

Whelp, I can't teach. Oh well.

Don't have the teach skill?

[Dimitri]

That was a minor oversight on my part.
I assumed I could grind it. I assumed wrongly.
Let's leave it at that.

How buffed are whips?  They were pretty sorry when I used them.

[Evaristo Carriego]

^^^

Buffed enough that people roll whip characters, as opposed to brainy character that use whips.
