@Rook said in How to Change MUing:

The entire MU community feels very 'passive' lately.

Human beings are passive. I do think it's gotten worse over the years, as the way we entertain ourselves has become more tailored to that passivity (so fighting past it seems less normal). I agree that it's deeply frustrating and causes a lot of the issues we see on MUs, I just don't want to talk about it as a 'MU problem.' At the end of the day, every player has to take a certain amount of ownership for their own fun. It's what I try to do, at least. And sometimes owning my own fun is saying 'This game just isn't for me, I should play somewhere else', but I still feel like that's taking ownership and not expecting entertainment delivered to me.

I definitely agree with some of the ideas posted and they're things I look for in games. I vastly prefer single-faction, PvE environments, and part of that is the way it promotes interactivity and ease of finding RP partners. I'll also echo @Arkandel in saying I think Arx's randomscene code does a really good job of giving people a reason to get out and RP with newbies/people they maybe haven't interacted with.
