Just lurking some of my old haunts to see how they're faring. Can't find the stats page for Armageddon so thought I'd make a thread. How active is the game these days? Last time I played some years back I seem to remember averaging like 75 or so online during peak times.
We removed the roleplay enforced shtick from the game and we're now in 300+ playerbase every day. Just fair warning, if you try to roleplay, you get flagged as "PK" and all mobs try to kill you.
sorry. couldnt resist. welcome back.
Recently returned myself. Definitely lower numbers at peak than that, but as far as I can recall it was always lower during the summer months. There's been some playing area consolidation, Tuluk is closed (for real, no pranks here), and so most areas seem populated enough that you'll find interaction.
I see 50-60 peak with at least 20-30 all other times except for an hour or two at the most off peak (~3-5am pst) where it can dip into single digits.
Wish I could say I was returning but real life doesn't allow me to play MUDs anymore :(
Growing up sucks.
Just came back myself after about a year and a half more or less. Still as fun as ever. There's not as many players as before. However, with Tuluk closed you'll find more going on in Allanak, Red Storm and Luir's Outpost than before. But as Kankman said, there's less players on during the summer months (I noticed this too). Tonight (a saturday), there's about 35 people playing. Not bad. But I'd expect more for a weekend night.
Other than that, the players are still just as fantastic as they always were. And it looks like there's been a lot going on recently. And I've met a lot of interesting characters involved in some interesting plots. Definitely happy to be back and will probably stick around for a while.

I am quite grown up. And I still play. Some things are worth it.
It seems busy compared to a few months ago
I think once summer comes to an end, there will be more activity.
I thought I couldn't play anymore, then I tried.
All I did was cut down on TV with my wife. Instead, I just have a laptop and she watches anime on Crunchyroll or draws or something.
It's a much better life.
Being an adult with Armageddon is sweet.
Yeah, I'm with Kankman.
I just stopped talking to my wife and family, completely shut off the tv, and started a new job where I beg people for money online using a robot, so I could quit my old 9 - 12 grind, and focus on the important things.
I adult it up and still manage to play regularly. Like Kankman said, instead of mindlessly staring at the television I mindlessly stare at my laptop for an hour and a half every evening while my wife and kids take over the remote.
Aw you nerds are funny. I manage a 9-5 job and still put in many hours a day. *cough* 2 days a week I work but still *cough*

This is pretty much how my living room works.
