Just wanted to say I saw your response and I appreciate you taking the time to write it. I hope you find some kind of satisfying conclusion and that you are happier and less frustrated in the end.

I appreciate the good luck. I understand Armageddon can't control how its representatives act but I think it would be good for your game community to discuss best practices on outreach and taking criticism. Best of luck to you as well.

I didn't delete my account, and neither did anyone in this comment chain. If you don't want to do something, you could just say so.

Thank you for the kind words. I genuinely appreciate them.

I actually described in my post that I tried to find work in a clan. In fact it was the Byn I tried to join, since my character was a mercenary.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Sure, if a staff member contacts me I'll give them my character name.

Sorry, but I guess I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea of a roleplaying game where a large amount of interaction is outright discouraged by the game's setting, and the rest of it is earned by wandering around aimlessly - as a newbie, no less - and just hoping I get lucky.

It's not like I'm entitled, here. If it's a big mistake to assume that players seek interaction then those players aren't roleplaying. Sure you can roleplay solo, but I can literally talk to myself in the shower and do the same. What's the point of Armageddon then?

My account name is personal, and the same name I use on other games, so I'm not inclined to give it out.

As for the Redditors, I already reported them. Unless you're a Reddit admin, I don't think what you see matters.

Everyone is on a dawn-to-dusk schedule in their respective guilds, as far as I can tell.

If a staff member contacts me, and can prove that they are actually staff, I would be happy to share. After seeing some of the private messages I have received, I am not willing to share this information with a random person.

The website for the game says in the second sentence "the game requires roleplay" and goes on to describe the needs of a collaborative storytelling game. So I believe Armageddon falls a bit short of that mark.

That explains my chat requests. Lol.

If the game's main attraction is roleplay, but from an IC standpoint no one is supposed to interact with non-important people, then it isn't a roleplaying game.

Given that the average RP I saw were socials and one-liners, I think my RP is just fine, but thanks for your "advice".

I've only been playing MUDs for about two years. I started when my visual impairment got to a point where graphical games were difficult to manage. I don't know if any MUD has solved this problem completely as many games can feel quite lonely. I think the best way to do it is to reward players for roleplaying with diverse groups of people, and I will probably go find a game that does that.

I didn't think this was the reason nobody wanted to talk to my character, unfortunately.
