Hi jCarter, and thanks for letting me in, (I think you're the admin.) I used to play Eve-online, I did that for eight years, not quite the same thing, but it was good and hellishly difficult to make any kind of mark in - and that's probably why I like serious RPI. Thing is with Eve, not only do you have the monthly subscription, but the upgrades started to mean I needed an ever upgraded PC, sod that! I think I am making a comparison between ARM and EVE

EvE Online, I'd still be playing it if it wasn't an unhealthy addiction that threatened to bankrupt me.

I think I know all I need to know, and quite unexpectedly you have all come together on the most important points, which has cleared a lot of hesitations in my mind, I appreciate it. I think I will still come here and drop unwanted comments where they're not needed, but I will look past the gripes and moans, and only go down that path when I got something of my own to rant..cheers everyone, most helpful indeed.

The answer to that question, Rogue, is that ultimately I would like to explore the Badlands, bring back skins, rare fruits, anything I can bring back to sell, get good enough so I get a reputation, 'you want those? you need to ask *****, if anyone can get some, that person can' I am being a bit careful because I have learnt that it's best not to give too much about yourself away. So a hunter/trader/forager type.

So a hunter/trader/forager type. If that's the mark you want to make, then Arm is the (or at least a) game for you. You certainly can still earn an In Character reputation of that sort, and it can be a lot of fun! And yes, it's best to be circumspect about your identity on this board if you still play Armageddon.

I don't really want to be a guard, or a soldier or anything like that, I do want a degree of independence, maybe find one or two others so we can work as a team. I'm glad you said ARM is good for that, I would like to stay with it, but if I was told it's a waste of time, I would have walked. I wont feel I'm wasting my time. You've been amazing here.

Your goals are totally doable on Arm, and could (and should!) be fun, IMO. This is especially true if you're new to the game and the coded map and beastie NPCs will be a surprise to you.

gamerguurl yeah the complaints here should be taken in the context of players who already know the world like the back of their hand and are overly used to all of the stuff that ur only beginning to experience. the gameworld itself is awesome on its own and there is a shitton of things to experience and discover on ur own independent on all the gripes u hear here these gripes have little to do to address the kinds of things ur looking for that definitely are in arm

yes, I'm understanding that now and this thread has helped me see it all in a different light, with a bit of perspective. I abandoned Sindome because one of the staff, (who seemed to be universally hated,) got snappy with me one too many times - that was within a month. So I guess most MUDs have at least one.
