I received an email last night from someone who tried to start MUSHing recently. Apparently quite some time ago I had advertised RenoMUSH on Reddit.
Anyway, I had forgotten that. I don't even have any presence at RenoMUSH any longer, but I was found and contacted by this person. And they had some things to point out about their experience.
Let me state that none of this should be taken personally, and is not in any way a jab at the fine fiolks currently running Reno. I wanted to share this email because I thought it was telling on perhaps why we don't have new people.
*Hello Sean,
I'm writing this email to you to let you know i had stumbled upon your site off a reddit post and was interested to try it out a new medium for the game. I Found it extremely difficult to well navigate, create and play. The Wiki is very shallow on the technical aspect of how to connect, how to make your sheet and so on and so forth. I found another website Fallcost but not sure if the same commands work. With in the client i found the lack of well a New User tutorial lacking as well. I Spent about an hour trying to piece together a character not even sure how i can contact staff to help. Anyway i wrote this to you just to bring it your attention that as a new person to your site and to the MUX experince i was totally lost.
p.s:I had to get this email of a thirdparty website (mudconnector?) so i hope i've reached out to the right person
Have a wonderful and Long Weekend. *
