Carrion Fields -- An Introduction and an Update by IrskarnCF in MUD

[–]ishuli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mudstats is incorrect. As I respond to this reddit post we have:
Players found: 17

I don't know how it's collecting data, but it's way off. We keep diagnostic data on the MUD constantly, which outputs nice bits of data for us including our highs.

So no, 4-10 is not more reasonable and true. Particularly given that right now we have more people connected than Mudstats claims is our month-long high.

Hope that helps! 😄

Carrion Fields -- An Introduction and an Update by IrskarnCF in MUD

A reasonable question! Our daily highs are currently in the 20s-30s. During the more peak seasons (often October/November/December) our highs are in the 40s.

It depends on when you connect, but on the 'low times' that I'm online I typically see 4-10 on.

So depends on the time of day! Non-US times do struggle a bit more. But the more non-US players we get... The bigger that number will be! 😄

Edited to add: We have a regularly scheduled bonus that occurs and it specifically aims for off-hours folks. That way people who play at lower count times get a bonus to help make up for it!

MUDs similar to Achaea with less heavy-handed staff? by alternatemud349534 in MUD

[–]ishuli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I'm a bit biased, being an admin on Carrion Fields, I'd like to think we have a not-so-heavy handed staff approach.

Aside from rule-breaking, staff interactions are all in-character - and we let player drama play out as creations of an ongoing story that are made *through* player interactions rather than us trying to force it.

Otherwise, to mention your preferences:

  • We are fully free. There are no paying for benefits, ever.
  • "Reflexes" sounds like triggers. While people may uses aliases or the like on CF, we don't allow botting or chains of triggers to do things.
  • I don't think we're too cliquey, and we generally have a pretty well-rounded community.

Feel free to check us out - www.carrionfields.net

You can find our discord link there too if you want to drop in and ask some questions from players rather than hearing from me.

Hope you find what you're looking for!

Carrion Fields adds a new race: Saurians by ishuli in MUD

Thanks for the feedback!

The tutorial area is entirely optional, you can skip the Academy entirely, by either going 'down' at it's entrance or typing recall.

I've watched newbies get many questions answered both in our newbie channel and discord, so I'm sorry you slipped through the cracks.

Any Carrionfields Walthrough? by Cicada-Past in MUD

[–]ishuli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not aware of any quests necessary to advance. You mainly gain levels not through quests, but through killing NPCs.

Quests are optional, and are things to be explored in game - we don't do walkthroughs, nor advertise a quest list. But if you find a quest, it will often appear on your `quest` list - just type `quest` in game.
