Right.

they're doing it wrong. if you wanted to inject players into a certain part of the game, you need to do it in bursts, not a few apps here and there and hoping for the best. get a cache of player subs, say 15, then have those roles/pcs become playable all on the same day. a mini rpt. that way, players would have the guarantee that they would actually have the company of other characters and not be roaming around a boring, dead-feeling wasteland. but even if you did do that people wouldn't be interested because its tuluk and people simply dont like tuluk anymore/have had too many bad experiences lol

Nyr to the players??

If I were to ever play Arm again, Tuluk would be the very last place I would consider playing. I'd rather make a character who lives in the alleys of Red Storm than suffer the example of failed game design that is Tuluk. I made several attempts at it back when I still had faith in the game, and every single one ranks amongst the worst times I ever had on Arm. It is bereft of spirit and substance, which is reflected in the bland, forgettable roleplay that always defined Tuluk.

The place is also completely antithesis to what makes roleplay work, and its design is so dull and stifling that I quit the game for long periods of time during/after each of my Tuluk PCs. They should kill the place off in a war and then focus the game around the southlands. It's a much more appealing environment, too, and better suited to the setting than the inexplicably easy and bountiful northlands. The whole grasslands and forest part of Zalanthas adds nothing to the game.

In short, they should try to fix the problem instead of simply asking people to endure it.

I must've misinterpreted it. Sounded to me like they're trying tto clean out the old garbage and build up the new changes because the new changes came with old garbage that just wouldn't go away. Hard to implement anything fun, if the crap that made it crappy (mostly other players spending all their time mudsexing or sitting idle or spam-twinking steal with their hoods up or mindbending the ruination of everything) won't leave.

I know there's plotlines going on but they never seem to go anywhere. From my perspective in playing it doesn't look like stonewalling from staff as much as it is inaction and storage from key players. There are definitely things that CAN be done that I know staff doesn't have a problem with. Just needs people to do those things. Til then, my character and others all we can do is sit there waiting for someone who has the IC authority to do something and come up with the ideas that involve everyone else. So if staff wants to bring in new PCs and TELL them what those ideas should be, more power to them. Maybe something interesting will happen.

fucking lol, can someone find me the quote that's somewhere on here from nyr where he said that tuluk is doing just fine with player numbers because he did a who check at a random time and saw half the players there or something?

too funny that the staff is still beging players to go to tuluk. how long before they resort to there usual plan and they just put caps on naks playerbase. imms loves them some caps
