hi,
in my opinion equipment is the most importtant thing in alter or one of them
if your a tot 140, and your equipment sucks you will suck
if your a tot 100 and your equipment i s the best in the game
you will rock and be much better than that tot 140
personally, i'd give anything to complete the updates on my necro set
it makes all the difference for me

It's not that I don't really do mechanics, I'll quite happily sit around
and check through a shop for best gear or buy better gear, it's more that
I don't spend hours of time on it looking for that one specific item to
raise some all important stats, I'll go with the best available option at
the time, be that in a shop, a donation room or whatever, then hit it with
enchants etc.
Alter isn't that bad, accept that I seem to have at the moment got a
little stuck as a clerric warrior trying to balance good casting gear vs
good armor, which isn't generally fun.
Really though, while I don't mind equip mechanics, it's reactive fights
and exploring that I find much more interesting than sitting and trying to
balance a lot of numbers out. I'll do it if it is likely to get me some
good, but not really go out of my way on it.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Unfortunately you need said builds to be able to explore, especially if
you're playing solo, and again this applies to pretty much all muds. You
might have some luck with Aardwolf, and of course Project Bob has
randomly generated gear so even I don't max on there, but on most muds
you have one of two options. Group and play that way, or make your
character awesome and explore solo. There really isn't anything in
between, unless you like dying a lot. Even I can't solo very well on
alter and I've got 12 years of mudding experience, so I usually either
lead a group or hit/tank in a group. And Project Bob I haven't had the
opportunity to play around with the grouping system much, but I do know I
like it, since there isn't really a level range limit and the experience
isn't messed up when you group like it is on most muds. If mechanics
aren't your thing, then muds aren't for you, because in all my experience
with muds I haven't yet found one that will allow you to just go
trundling along picking up whatever looks cool and slapping it on and
expect to get anywhere, even if your objective is just exploration. Maybe
give aardwolf a try, it has a lot of navigational commands to get you
places, and an eqsearch command to tell you most of the best items for
your level and where to get them. That's probably your best option for
easy exploration.

I'm personally usually a paladin or clerric player, because I like
utility magic such as heal, but I like fighting as well.
Generally though I don't really care enough about the game to do
mechanics to ridiculous levels, sinse I'd rather explore around and find
stuff than follow rigid guides or attempt to minimax, sinse to me it's
the atmosphere, exploring quests, and reactive elements of the game that
are more interesting than minimax builds.
I suppose the fact that I'm using sapi for mud output to read incoming
text might have an affect, sinse the voice is possibly reacting slower,
but I'm not sure, and there's no alternative to this really.
Beware the grue!
