Re: Lament
Hello! New member here, drawn to the posts about Lament the MUD. Since the MUd's site no longer hosts its own forums, it seems there are some players here, so I wanted to reach out to them and to new potential players!
Just started playing on Lament about a month ago, and it's been a pretty immersive experience so far; however, there is a serious lack of players, and apparently slow development. As someone who thoroughly enjoyed games like ( Unreal World ), Lament brings the same hard-core, gritty crafting survival in a multiplayer context. In that regard, if you are into in-depth crafting and a more sandbox, open-ended world with no structured quests per se, Lament has a lot to offer in its game systems.
@Xoren, thanks for your review I saw on Mudconnect that made me want to try this MUD. After about a month of playing now, I pretty much agree 100% with all your points, except for the ones about staff interaction s. So, I am curious, what kind of disagreements or unsavory interactions have you had with the staff or other players? I have only met 1 staff so far, and she has been extremely helpful and friendly, considering the number and scope of dumb questions I asked to learn how to play.
Personally, I have found the staff and other players pretty helpful, and not as strict as other similar MUDs when it comes to protecting IC info and syntax help, etc.
However, I am reaching the saturation point, like when I was playing Unreal World, where NPCs just do not satisfy my social needs lol. I wish there were more people around to play, explore, craft, and trade with, or even have fun/interesting conflicts with (read: non-griefing).
Pretty much everything Ironcross said in his various posts about Lament are very much on point and very helpful for when I was first starting out.
I do not believe I have reached "end-game" content yet, as I heard there are danger ous "wastelands" areas that I've never seen, and many other "points of interest" on the huge world map I've never been to, and explored, so I'm still holding out to experience those in full...
I just lament the loneliness of it all...
