Awaiting Status

[Jumpin Jack Flash]

Luckily, it's college football season and The Walking Dead is on, so I've found other things to occupy my time normally reserved for GMud (not to mention re-painting the inside of my house getting it ready to sell).  But, I'm still looking forward to returning one day, once a MudOp has been assigned to the PVP realm and a reset occurs to remove all these dupes.  Any status on this, Vitoc?

The dupes desperately need to be banned. Since word got out that Gardner wasn't going to be around, there are people with 8+ characters. They script their main chars and use the illegal dupes to harass all their enemies and keep people offline. This has caused a sizable chunk of the actual legitimate non-cheating players to just quit. 

Unfortunately the dupes are only one part of the problems with the PvP realm.

Even if the cheating is taken care of, there are still a lot of tweaks that need to be made to the content itself. The realm desperately needs DC's post-SpellMod balancing patch along with a handful of other changes. Things like thunderclap stunning the entire room for 7 rounds aren't exactly good for the game, especially so considering that Sleep was changed because it stunned one person for 5 rounds.

There are also a lot of bugs that still need to be addressed. The bug forum is full of years of posts of the same bugs that were never fixed. I think I can speak for most of the players on GMUD when I say that I am concerned with the announcement of WebMUD. The general feeling is that all the bugs that remain in GreaterMUD are unlikely to be fixed since Vitoc's focus has shifted now to WebMUD.

In closing, I'd like to clarify that this is NOT intended to be an attack on Vitoc or GMUD. I feel confident in saying that a good portion of the player base likely feels as uncertain as I do about what's going to happen with GMUD in the near future. We all want to see this place thrive and stay running.

I'll be making a post gathering as much of the info on DC's proposed changes and consolidating it into a new thread, along with other proposed changes that anyone would like to add. I hope to have everyone participate.
