Re: Gardening, Foraging, Basket Weaving and More!
To be clear, I don't mind working for levels and it doesn't need to be lightning fast. I'm not all about the hack-and-slash and nothing else.
But most MUDs, in my experience, tend to let you get your first levels reasonably quickly, and then things slow down. Alter Aeon is a good example of this, where it takes no time at all to get to level 10 but then much longer to get to level 20. Now, it's a different style of MUD, and I respect that, but Erion just felt slow to me. To the point where I was getting bored. I did the exploration mission in Hillock Hills, did a couple of unscrambles and guess-the-phrase challenges, killed a bunch of mobs, but hadn't yet found any runes or whatnot. The issue I take is that in order to find runes, it probably takes time. Someone who is truly new to your game and may not be looking to hook up with someone instantly has neither advantage (grouping or runes) to help the grind go faster.
So I'm not roundly condemning this place. I may come back someday. I do think, for instance, that years ago this MUD was actually -too fast, since I can recall getting to level 50 in three hours or so by doing missions...and by then, I had all kinds of insane gear as well. It was almost too easy. I just feel like maybe that was overcorrected just a hair; levelling isn't hard, but it's tedious.
