...no, I'm not callin' em out.
I found this sort of interesting and didn't want to derail other thread.
What type of mud do you like as a player?
What "types" of muds are out there, and which muds are which types?
Whats your underlying goal/guilty pleasure in a pc?
Personally, I like descriptive muds that typically focus on RP, wordcraft, and storyline. I've found (old) SoI to be the closest to ideal. I don't really care about 1000's of rooms, objects, et cetera, but would rather numerous players grouped together for collaboration storyline/antagonistic storyline.
My underlying goal as a player, is to do something unique with someone basic. I love starting at the bottom and working to the top, and once getting there, doing what I can to fill out "my area/field".
My guilty pleasure, even though I consider myself a storyline player, is seeing a skill tick up to the next level. Usually the first month of a pc is spent developing them to a point of satisfaction (ie. Ronald the knight with novice weapon skills can finally kill a rat, Yugrut the orcish wargrider that fails every mount attempt can finally get in da saddle), and then the focus goes over to pushing antagonism, or what have you, to whereever, whoever I can.
My favourite scenes are usually when one of my pcs is in a "can't win" situation against a horde of enemies, and you're basically the center of everything, cause...well, its not like an admin is going to attack the town gates, steal the crown jewels, or whatever. People dig that kind of stuff, and usually, are actually hesitant to kill you as you're the only excitement they got.
I had an orc named Crum (the mouth of mountain), and an easterling name Nakisim (fox-face shaman). Both fell to assembled masses of Soi good guys. Both got public execution RPTs. And both were so much fun to just wander over to Utterby's gates to cause some crap.
