[Audyssey] Fluxworld mud

[dark]

Hi. 

Anyone who was on audiogames.net about a month ago might have already seen the 
note about this mud listed. It distinctly caught my attention sinse it really 
struck me as different from the usual fantasy hack n slash or rp fest, with a 
very distinct world around it. 
I just got around to trying the game and I can say I'm quite intreagued. 

The mud takes place on fluxworld, an alien planet with a scifi setting. The 
unique thing however is combat is at most a very very small! part of the game, 
indeed the game mostly plays much closer to interactive fiction, though with 
slightly less irritating commands (indeed I found myself over thinking). 

There are loads of activities, and in fact lots of activities can be found by 
just wandering around. You begin in the promenade, which at first looks like a 
small area though there is apparently a huge amount more to explore.

The first unique thing are actual quests to progress involving finding hidden 
objects and secret passages, which reward the player with money. The game then 
has lots of hidden and not so hidden things to find, indeed you can make money 
just by exploring and picking up cash pouches, thugh there are also scavenger 
hunts and creatures to catch for money. 

You can apparently mine for ore, hunt, fish and farm gamble or play games with 
other players at the bar, build spacecraft and even repare damaged parts of the 
colony's power grid or fly into orbit to fix up damaged satellites, plus you 
can fly to the two moons of fluxworld, though I've not looked much at that, 
indeed I've been playing for the last four hours and haven't been many places 
just because I've been finding objects and doing quests.

there is combat in the killing fields, (kf), where you can go to fight alien 
creatures, but it's just basically another activity, and indeed to be very 
honest probably only there as an afterthought, sinse the other activities, 
unique world and very interactive environment are really where the game excels. 

Thus far I'm quite impressed with the detail, and it also definitely helps that 
the dev is not only great about vi access (there is a set blind command and a 
substitute for the graphical cumpus), but the principle dev is also willing to 
hang about and help people out, indeed he just spent time with me pointing out 
facts about the game and giving a couple of hints where required.giving me 

Connect at centauri.servegame.com port .

Enjoy! 

Oh, and btw I'm inventively called dark on there :D. 

All the best, 

Dark.

Does anyone know where to go to set the preferences or is there
somewhere specifically to go to access the mobile site?

thanks,

various options in preferences for a number of customizations that might

I seem to remember the Classic layout option was useful but it is a

Hi,

I have a question, I just signed up for the game.  Yes it's accessible
but it seems a bit sluggish and cluttered.  Is there a setting in
preferences that can make it a bit easier to navigate.  I.E. is there
a mobile site that's a bit less clunky?  I'm liking the game so far.
thanks,

Dacia
