That's great to hear. I might pop on and see what all the hubbub is about. Still think the karma system is shit, though.

I think overall the staff-player experience is 10x better not only because the staff are good people, but also, there's no red tape and really over-complicated bureaucracy like in ArmageddonMUD.
When you CC in Apocalypse, it will get done in under a day. Why? The builders don't have to put in 20 requests and kowtow for permission from an aged Producer, is my guess.

RPT coming up this weekend: Player count still going strong. If you want to roll in with a clan of dwarves, now's your chance to do so.

I cannot speak highly enough of this game. The voting for changes on the discord, the animations. The working with players on things. The feeling of being respected and seen by the staff. And with 95% of the best parts of the arm codebase and a more Dark Sun slanted setting but still similar to capture the 'vibe' in many ways. I just. I really, really, really tried to stay neutral in all this with the blow up with Arm. I really have. And for weeks I feel like I did a pretty good job even though my playtime went to basically nothing. But... tonight I left the arm server and downloaded a browser extension to block my access to the gdb because I cannot bring myself to keep investing in a game which is so obviously not interested in even genuinely collaborating with players to do something that's not the easier version of a thing because it would make a significant portion of their playerbase feel safer and like they are making a meaningful step toward trying to show a good faith effort toward trying to build trust rather than updating contracts that created such an issue to begin with because they were already being violated.

I really like Apoc, despite my earlier reservations. My only reservation at the moment is that it is painfully full of Armageddon players. Yes, it is not surprising that Armageddon players are playing Apoc, but what I mean is that suggestions on "improving" the game often read like "Staff should make the game more like Armageddon". I'm glad to see Ikthe and co. are standing up to that though and working on making a unique game. I think Apoc picked the perfect time to resurface and it's going to be interesting to see what happens over the next 6 months.

I really do that it's trying to do it's own thing rather than being an Arm clone. No one wants a B List Arm. It's got a lot more potential than that, and I'm having fun like I haven't had in a text based game since 2009.

Another RPT announced for Friday! discord.gg/JshBEU7T?event=1097999514549375127Also patch notes for next reboot: - Started working on a spell that all mage guilds get, need to work out a few issues with it. - New where command that lets you see where folks are congregating. You can opt out with nosave where. - Added fullness states to objects. You can only see your own worn/holding. Anybody can see in room. Peek allows characters to see your container fullness. Added a new flag for staff for containers that should always show (ie baskets) I'm pretty excited for the where command, with how hard it can be to find RP in arma. These crazy hours are just for me btw because I'm an off-peaker. It'll be prime time friday for most of you.

What the hell happened here? Did Apocalypse rise from the ashes like some kind of Phoenix?

More alive than I've ever seen it, with constant new code additions, new areas being built, staff plots, etc. I remember you from an old version, you were fun. You might be surprised by how much it's changed. There's even player Templars now!
