Re: Unofficial Squaresoft Mud-who's playing?
Comparatively speaking though, AA is a lot kinder.
It's easy to die if you end up in the wrong spot, that's true, but for your first three islands that's extremely hard to do. Even then, unless you're backstabbed or whatnot, it's very difficult to die in less than twenty seconds (you're likely able to flee). While in UossMud, if you find the wrong boss/prepare badly/get in over your head because this room happened to be set up so that all mobs aggro when you attack the first, you can die very, very quickly. And then if no one's around, that's 30% exp lost, and since a lot of stuff relies on level in this game, that can be a kick in the face. On AA you might be able to lose a few million exp if you're really unlucky; in UossMud, you can literally go below your exp to level, so if you die while at 4% of a level you can lose 30% exp and end up needing like 128% exp to level up. AA never does this; if you die with little exp on AA, you aren't put into negatives. Oh also, AA at least has resurrection, you don't leave your corpse behind, and getting skill improvements is not particularly hard.
The only part I agree with here is that AA will dent areas that are commonly run. I've never much liked that aspect of things, and it's one area where UossMud does it right; if I want to grind Zozo over and over, let me bloody well do it if I think it's safe.
