What are your reasons?

[RogueGunslinger]

I play this game because I'm a weak, ugly, nobody loser and can grief other people endlessly on things they care for and put tons of time into.

I know who you play now!

[Is Friday]

I play this game because I am well-adjusted, good looking, and make a decent living.

In Arm, I can pretend to be none of these things. 

I play this game because I am a macho, good looking man with a good sense of humor and can pretend to be a pretty pretty princess here.

Friday, have you EVER actually played a pretty princess?

[Zharal]

It is the fact alone that I can step out of the rat race and step into a world where I can play anytype of personality I want and the interection is in my opion incredible.
also Id like to mention that this is also one of the most realistic games;so far as staying alive. its the only mud Ive stuck with and will stay with it throught my time.
It was once told to me by and old Imm.. in servival its not that your more powerful then your enemies, just that you out live them. -wink-

Yes.

Two favorite female role archetypes:
1.) Psychotic, grizzled bitch.
2.) Energetic teenage girl going through a lot of "really important", difficult personal issues that leads to gossiping and lots of drama.

Believe it or not I'm playing a mostly-nice PC currently.

I play so I can have anime-sized bewbs, duh.

I'd like to mention here and IsFriday and I are, in fact, different people. You may not think so when you meet our PCs. But really. We are.

Usually when one of us is Teen Girl Achiever, the other is playing Scarface McBloodbath.

[Zoltan]

To be an artsy douche. Man, I won't even go into detail, but I think I may over-think this game when I'm actually playing it. 

[Cind]

Being people who are and do the unthinkable really is fun when done here. Having realistic long-term reactions to what they have done is not frightening at all. Oh I don't want to go to sleep now.

I fully plan on ignoring this election year. Arm will help with that.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.


It allows me to die in curious and fantastic ways.

Seriously though, I've been playing MUD's for a while, since I was 14ish. I started off on some net based ones, hack'n'slash style, and eventually stumbled across Iron Realms entertainment at 15, and joined Lusternia.
I played that until a fellow player on there mentioned Arm in an OOC chat, and I thought I should give it a go. I have no idea who that player was, but thank yoooooo!

I don't think I've ever randomly stumbled across something better than this.

Was is Diamante, the choke-master king?

[Hot_Dancer]

I started in Harshlands at 13. Then Forever's End. Then when I turned 17 Arm became open to AOL emails
and I jumped in.

I had always wanted to get deeply into pen-and-paper RPG's but could never find a group or would
end up elected as a bad/short term DM. I found RPI's instead and they're a very capable substitute.

Console/graphical/PC games just don't offer the type of character/story development you can get in an
RPI.

This.  I used to have a decent gaming group of close friends but we've all moved to different areas.  That and I was inevitably stuck being the DM which I hated.  I had tried a few different RP MUDs before Arm but the Dark Sun theme made me keep trying until I figured it out.  Jhunter and a few others in Salarr years and years ago were very patient with my n00bness.

Kuraci raptor nuggets. Chicken nuggets, but with Arm velociraptor meat instead of chicken? Yes, epic.
