Belisarius,
I used to play this game all the time, and really enjoy it. One or two jerks kept doing/saying things like what they said to you, and over time it finally ruined it for me, and I dont play anymore.
Lis meant what he said, because hes decided he is smarter than you, and needs to take that out on a new player who is learning.
Lis should know better, and im suprised at him for the comment.
Some players have played for so long, they cant process a new person is playing the game. Basically your stupid/weak for not having the master knowledge of a 5-10 year sloth player, is the thinking of some people.
Too many newbies get chased off this game.
Akasha is a cool guy, get to know him. Does significant good for this mud.
This mud used to have a nice playerbase, but when Ive checked the whos online lately, it is indeed low compared to what it used to be. Sloth 3 might pull 100 players for a major announced quest, but thats about it. In a given busy weekend it couldnt be more than 40-50.
I'm tired of sloth's social antics, and like I said dont play, and most likely wont again till i see the player base/player attitudes change. So take my comments with a grain of salt.
We need about 20 more players like yourself, who want to log in, learn, simply play, and enjoy a game.
Good luck out there, and have fun.
