Quote from: Usiku on May 09, 2024, 10:05:06 AMThe options available for 'habitable areas of play' if you need a change of scenery/surrounding players, will be Allanak, Labyrinth, Red Storm or 'Southern' Wilderness (which is totally viable, as it always has been, sometimes you just want to live in a cave, that's fine). Other options may open up later, but those won't be Tuluk/Morins/Northern places etc.

Could you clarify what you mean here by habitable? Is there a distinction between what's habitable and what's accessible? Since the last update mentioned the Grey Forest, for example, it suggests that's an area which can be accessed eventually, if not initially, in the upcoming season.

No SandCoins accepted?

Tuluk cannot be fully open and accessible but unsupported, that simply isn't viable. There is just too much potential world/NPC response that could be required for any number of PC actions.

It will be slightly different than when Tuluk was closed before.  You will be able to enter the city, but only a handful of rooms are open with minimal shops and a heavy military presence.  There will be no quit rooms in the city.

Basically, if you want to visit and buy a souvenir go for it, but you won't be able to live there and it won't support you hanging around.

It won't be like a 'new Red Storm' because Red Storm will have staff support, Tuluk won't.

Working on an update to that as we speak, actually.  Stay tuned....

Playing a human combat or merchant or crafting or stealth character requires no karma, yet any of those options can rise in the ranks and become incredibly influential. They could become a Templar's "Executor." They could become a boss in the Guild. They could become a noble's Senior Aide. They could become a skimmer captain, or destroy the city's enemies, or gain notoriety as a master assassin.

NONE of those roles require any karma at all.

I've dabbled in roles of similar vein and flavor on ApocalypseMUD - most of them sound extremely badass on paper, but boil down to 'idle around until your Noble charge is around', or 'AFK until someone who opposes your city of choice's political compass pops up so you can harass them', or 'get paid to type 'backstab dumdum' on someone'.

It'd be cool if players had remotely any agency whatsoever. But from what I play on the other MUD, and from what I hear about this one, we don't.

But all your hospitality and nice comments are noted and appreciated. I doubt I'm going to be giving this a whirl, but hope to see you on the off chance I do!

EDIT: You say "destroy the city's enemies", but the city HAS no enemies, correct? The opposing city is entirely unsupported from what I know, and everyone in the currently accessible city is just in a vacuum.

. Upon closer inspection, you quickly realize its made of beetle dung.

Quote from: Riev on May 08, 2024, 02:11:53 PMSince you can't start in Tuluk, I am GUESSING that any Tuluki Citizen PCs will be citizens in exile and not allowed to play behind the barricades.


While I totally understand the "I played Allanak the last 3 PCs and I want to play something different" .... Tuluk won't be the option. Yet.

The post says you aren't allowed to make PCs of tuluk or morins origins. Luirs is the best background you can have before starting in allanak or redstorm and making your way back.

Again, hope i am wrong but it just sounds like fully cutting off coded room access to tuluk's areas and amenities in an attempt to make the area unappealing to players.

More cenyr locations are not really the unsupported by staff areas I was looking foward to, and I dont think it will have the effect staff is hoping for either, probably the opposite.

They can do all that if they wanted to on 0 karma, and then not do it as a double foil to the hardcore plottists out there.
