@thenomain said in What's missing in MUSHdom?:

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. If the setting doesn’t engage, then why even log in?

I don't. I haven't in a long time.

As far as affecting the setting, I’ve never needed tools for that, just permission from staff.

This is a sandbox. Make your own fun and leave staff alone.

The tools make this easier, and thus more time effective, and thus more likely to be followed though, but it starts with someone saying “yes”. After that, I’m free.

Staff needs to be actively engaged in making their game fun, and needs to have tools that allow both players and staff to achieve that.

If you're complaining that WoD games end up being social MU*s with RPG elements, give them other elements. Let me guess, you've only ever made them as social games, without any tools that would help them be otherwise? So why are you full of yourself, complaining about it? Make a different goddamn game.

Mind you, I appreciate the hard work anyone puts into making games (I certainly have nothing against you personally), but it's time this attitude was kicked to the curb. Or not, keep making sandboxes that fail to engage.
