@Crysta I play on Dystopia MUX too!

@Crysta I played Enzo:) So, not that awesome since I left. Though, it happens that inspirations to play just disappear. I still plan to come back to that place, because it is really amazing. I just need to find inspiring roster:)

Silas is my favorite!

I was wondering if there is a MU* about ladies and lords (middle ages) or ancient history, which wouldn't be build up according to the history of England, but more according to France or maybe something about Vikings? If no, that is what I would like to see these days.

If you want to avoid courtly politics and focus more on adventure and action, perhaps moving the location to the wall and north of it. You will have those that take the black, the multiple wildling factions, and most likely staff controlled other-worldly creatures. The only 'politics' would be between the wildling clans and possibly within the Night's Watch.

Women are not allowed into the Watch as far as I remember. So, all women should play wildlings or men?

But yeah, I would love to play such a game and I do like Esos idea.:)

Everything was done good. They made the announcement about closing down, they had wiki and the game working for quite awhile, that people could gather the needed contacts, and finish their characters' stories.

I miss this game though. It was the best game I have ever played. The most friendly, with the most cooperative staff members I have ever met. They were active, and mostly really logical, and understanding, and... From my point of view, it had all the advantages of the MUSH.

Now I just keep changing characters on all other existing MUSHes, and I keep leaving in a week or two, and I keep sobbing, why I can't be in the Kingsmouth. I believe, I will have to forget MUSHing in general, unless something similar will ever show up. No offense to staffers of other MUSHes. I am sure, that you are doing a great job. I am just expressing my opinion about this one.

The hugest possible THANK YOU to the staffers of Kingsmouth. Really wanted to say that, because I actually understood the joy of MUSHing there.

I really love http://www.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page . Might be not perfect, but it always gives everything, what I need:)

Hello! I see, that the posts here are quite old. Any updates on this game? I am interested in vampire sphere mostly: politics, intrigues and etc. Is that possible to get such a thing there? These days I usually run into games, where staff is very strict, but not cooperative and always very busy. I imagine, if you have a strict game, then be there to guide your players or at least answer to their jobs. Otherwise, be pretty free game, that players could improvise and have fun.

So, should I join this game? Will I find what am I looking for?

Thank you for answers!

I guess I missed the times, when Vampire - Victorian Age and (or) Vampire - The Dark ages existed, right? But I wish I could play in one of these games. It does combine historical times I love, and WoD things.

I still wish to play on the original medieval fantasy MUSH with heavy focus on politics, and with decent activity, and without all these lame OOC dramas. Or at least with as little as possible.

I would love if Lord of the Rings themed MUSHes would come to life again.

I wonder if that would be possible to have a MUSH with themes similar to:

• Hunger Games
• The 100
• Game of Thrones (but less strict than BoD and more strict than GoB. Sorry! It's just my own wish and opinion)
• The Borgias (intrigues and politics of religion, state matters, but not spread too widely around various Kingdoms, what happens in middle ages MUSHes)

Oh, yes! I am totally new in this forum.

You all are so cool people! Thank you so much for wonderful tips, thank you so much for the help. I will definitely use your guidance, making my new character right now. Basically, the main thing what I learned is that first of all, I need to stop being super shy. Yes, I am like that. Super shy and with a huge lack of self-confidence. So, I will try to deal with that, and then follow your guidance, and I should be okay.

Thank you again.

Happy MU*ing for all of us!

Thank you so much for a quick replay. Three-Eyed Crow, you gave really valuable tips! I will definitely use them in the future.

To answer other questions:

Now that I think... I do have just one MUSHing friend and like three or four acquaintances, which I meet on the MUSH, where I play now. And we play sometimes, but they have their own friends to play with and go on adventures. So basically, if I manage to get a scene per week - I consider myself really lucky!

I played a character for four months. That was the longest period I lasted, and I could have lasted longer, if the game hadn't died (Kingsmouth I do miss that place!)

All the other times... I get bored in a week or two, not getting roleplay in the places I make my characters. Or get just one scene in that whole time. I do my best to get involved, but the clique thing is indeed a problem.

I tried out all history related MUSHes, which existed the last three years, and all WoD MUSHes. I might have missed some, if they were hidden and not advertised. Though usually, I play in vampire spheres. Others... Even reading books do not sound fun to me, or I just do not have anyone to inspire me to try out another sphere. After all, I was lured into the vampire sphere by a friend, and just read the books after that.

I just really like idea of MUSHing in general. It's a perfect way to rest my mind from RL. Though, I would love to last longer on the games than a month. That is why I thought I might be doing something wrong with my characters. I give flaws, but likely I give them the wrong flaws or something? It's very hard to actually know what can be annoying to encounter and what isn't. We all are different and understand these things differently...

Hey! I need suggestions, opinions, tips! What is a perfect character to play and play with? I am kind of new in MUSHing, compared to most. My experience is like three years, but I made more than 40 characters during these years, I believe. I make characters again, and again, and again, but somehow end up retiring them. What am I doing wrong?

• I do find a sphere I adore.
• I do find a concept I believe I love.
• I make a very deep and detailed backstory to fully understand my character's experiences, personality and get into my character in general.
• I give small and big goals to my character.
• I try to meet various people/characters on the grid, not just my friends (because sometimes roleplay with another inspires you, helps to get to know your character better and etc.).
• I try to participate in PrPs and Staff plots, when there are some I can take part in (I am still not comfortable running my own. I am not a native English speaker, plus still feel new to all this).

But in the end... I get bored of my characters, I lose inspiration. I never had a character about which I could say: "That was quite a game! I adored that!" All I can say: "It was ok... but got boring."

So, I am wondering... Is it me? Do I just suck playing out characters, writing stories? Though, I can't believe that. I do write play scripts and general prose in my native language. I love working on the story and characters but never manage to play them and continue their story. So, maybe I am just missing some important detail? How do you make /that/ amazing one character with whom you stay from the first day till last and enjoy it?

Thank you for your tips!

P.S. I am sorry if this topic had to be made on other part of the forum. I just thought it suits here...

P.P.S. I would love if someone could recommend me a nWoD or oWoD MUSH with newbie friendly environmental (help during chargen and getting into the action after approval. It's hard when you are new and nobody plays with you, because you do not have friends on the game already and people do not want to give you a chance to prove yourself as a good and interesting player, because they are already having fun with their friends).

Thank you!
