Hi Dar,
It's Sryth which although it isn't a Mud has some fantastic tools for
navigating which were created as far as I have been lead to believe from
dialogues between the Game Master and players.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Alter-Aeon
I used to really like being able to get a lot of experience carving
on equipment or just random things I found around the game. It was
good to be able to go down to the troll caves and pick up heaps of
human heads, drag them back to a location, and carve on them while
having conversations with my clan mates or just other Alter players
in general. I find that myself and others are a lot less social now
that carving items isn't really worth doing experience wise. I cannot
participate in conversations while navigating around the world or
keeping track of what is going on in battles.
The other issue I have mentioned previously is being completely lost
once transitioning to the mainland. I have recently gone back to
playing another role playing game with a big world and lots of quests
that does a few things to make navigation easier. The first tool that
is available is a list of all unfinished quests and their location.
Alter does have a list of quests but figuring out where they are on
the mainland can be quite difficult. The next tool that we have
access to is a reference to how to get to any important realm, town,
or large city. This has a further benefit of assisting me to
understand how the world is laid out as well as the obvious one of
knowing where locations are on a day to day basis. The final thing
that has been done is to make all dungeons on a grid using only the
four cardinal directions. This is really useful because it allows
people to make maps using Excel spreadsheets. As far as I know, maps
can be made in MushZ however, there is no way to actually explore
these maps like you can in Excel.
I think having a list of quests and where to access them, a list of
fame mobs and where you access them, and directions to places in the
Alter Aeon world would be incredibly useful! After all, just because
you know where a quest or mob is doesn't mean you have the strategies
to complete or beat it.Maybe these resources exist and I just don't
know about them and if this is the case I apologize. As for asking
other players for help, I find most people hoard information and only
really want to help out those in their clan.
I think that Alter is a lot of fun and there is a lot to do and
discover. Unfortunately due to the player/clan culture as well as not
having the resources available to find quests, important mobs, and
locations people who have trouble understanding and retaining spacial
information are missing out.
Kind regards,
Grace

Take, for instance, the change where lightcatchers will now have a
chance to break when they are used. Why? Why has Dentin felt the need
to make this adjustment? There is no call to do this?
Actually, there was a simpler reason for the light catcher change:
experience. It's been two years since druid was added, and the amount
of druid class and skill exp is still half what it should be. One of
the reasons for this is because people carve one set of suncatchers,
then never make any more of them. Carving was always meant to be a
big part of the exp that druids were capable of getting, and without
carving exp there's not really any way for me to properly balance the
class so it's on par with the others.
One question: how many lightcatchers have you broken so far, since
the change went in? The rate of breakage is really low, and I'd be
surprised if it's happened to you yet.
