As promised the results of the survey.

General Summary:

• The spread is fairly even except for First Order vs. Resistance era falling behind quite a bit.
• Pre-Empire Republic in general has a fair amount of edge over others, with post-Empire not far behind.
• Clone Wars era comes out on top overall.
• Interest in Empire and First Order eras appears to be lagging.
• An overwhelming majority prefer OC-only.

If I get any additional entries, I may update. Link to online spreadsheet is at MuHaven.

Hope this helps anyone developing games, or inspires someone to start!

@EvilFerret Thanks. I appreciate it, but I have decided that a guy who is completely new to staffing trying to run a game all on his own and not even trying to find additional help and also pre-banning everyone in an entire town as well as multiple VPN tunnels because of one "troll" is enough red flags for me. As much as I am itching for a republic era game, I figure someone else is going to come along with another one done the right way in the next year or two, given the direction of the media currently.

In my mind, trying to staff alone or joining a game with only 1 staff member is never a good idea. Because we are all human and not only can we not do everything ourselves, we need accountability. Myself included. I would never, ever staff alone, because I don't trust myself.

Hey guys, some of us on MuHaven have been discussing the idea that for such a large and diverse fandom, Star Wars seems to be sadly lacking in number of MUSHes currently open. A few are in development, and looking for feedback. So if you would consider yourself interested in one, please consider filling out a short survey:

Just a couple of quick questions, so shouldn't take long!

Not sure if you're into Transformers but it does fall into the sci-fi category. Both are great!

Hey all, a group of us are working on a Star Wars game set in the Old Republic era, around 300 BBY. We've actually made some really good progress, just need to get a few things ironed out and with some people getting busy with life, we need a little more help.

What we need: Someone who has a good understanding of D6, as our combat system is based on it, and time to commit each week to work on stuff (a few hours at least). Preferably someone who has code knowledge of PennMUSH, but that's not an essential.

What we don't need: Someone who wants to make sweeping changes to the theme or other things we've already established. Please be willing to work with the decisions that have already been made by the existing team.

If you're interested, jump onto MuHaven if you aren't already there at https://discord.gg/S363WuF and DM EDI#7078.

Anyone know of a good one?

Not on Earth yet but plan to get there by the end of this year. Small but we have enough activity. The combat system is the one Transformers 2005 used until it closed a couple of years ago I think it was.

If you're interested in playing and want to chat with us you can join our Discord: https://discord.gg/QYTQPwP

Hmm....well, there were definitely more than a few red flags going up at someone who has apparently never staffed anywhere trying to run a game alone. But I assumed he was planning on getting more staff before beta closed. Plus basically pre-banning everyone in an entire town and everyone who uses VPNs ever because of the actions of one person. Not a good plan. Too bad, I have been wanting a clone wars era game for a while. But maybe next time, heh!

Or maybe I'll try to make one. Although my SW lore knowledge is woefully lacking. So I'd need someone to help.

Oooor if anyone knows of another one, definitely let me know.

To prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, probably not. But to provide enough evidence in my favor, perhaps.

Hi, I would like to join this game, but it seems I have been mistaken for some troll named "Tiana" and have been sitebanned before even finishing chargen. I have never gone by "Tiana" anywhere at any time, or have made any character by that name. I could try to keep circumventing the blocks, but that would just make me look more suspicious and I sincerely just want to get this misunderstanding cleared up. I understand that previous bad experiences often lead to paranoia, but there must be some way I can prove to everyone that I am not that person. It is odd because when I first logged on I was chatting rather amicably with everyone about various topics including Episode 3, The Clone Wars, Transformers and Superhero games in relation to the topic of PvP vs PvE, the general direction Obie was thinking of taking this game, etc. Then I tried to come on again the next day and found I was either blocked or just kept getting booted. Then Obie himself called me "Tiana" and said he didn't want me there because of past experiences, and he would not even give me a chance to prove that I am not her at all.

Anyway if there is any way this can be cleared up, please let me know. I can talk about where I've been in the MUSH community and where I am now, as well as have multiple others vouch for the kind of person I've been for the past 2-3 years, if that would help. I know people can make up stories, but I think there are some things that would be difficult to just cook up, not to mention orchestrate with other people in on the whole scheme.

Hey guys, here I am with another survey. This time, it's about ensuring the longevity of a slowly dying hobby. If that is a project you could see yourself getting behind, click below to read more and answer a quick question. Thanks!
