  • Straight Skinny

    From Rassilon@VERT/CITADEL to Door Mud on Fri Mar 26 00:41:00 2010
    Well, I just got the straight skinny from Evan Elias about the Door MUD game. He says he's not currently allowing registration for it for a few VERY GOOD reasons:

    1. He feels it's unethical to accept payments due to lack of new releases & lack of support.

    2. He doesn't want to maintain a Windows machine that he would need to generate reg codes.

    3. He thinks there are too many active games relative to the size of the player base.

    & he gave me another good reason that I will not post here for his own security.

    Rass,

    I received nearly the same reply. In addition, he said we are free to mirror the original DoorMUD site as we see fit. If anyone is interested, I can
    mirror the site. Although, I would point out that there are a few site
    already doing so.

    Thanks!

    What really bums me out is I can't register it so I can't get past lvl.7. That, & I can't use the editor to expand the game. I was really hoping to do that.

    *wah*

    Go to a BBS that has a registered version.

    I think I know it, its a dovenet member who had a vendetta against him?

    Anyways maybe for 3.15 maybe not pre-install doormud if it cant be registered.

    Maybe install Clans as a pre-installed game.

    Go with a real mud as a door. http://mudmagic.com/codes/download/
    They are not really that difficult to set up. When I ran SBBS on Win32
    I had 3 different ones I was playing around with. Smaug, CDMud & LPMud.

    Although I can't say I've seen one that was turn based, so if you are
    secure in that, I think you are out of luck.

    If anyone is interested, I would be happy to have a go at installing one of these on the Masquerade. Just let me know what your favorite is andd I'll see what kind of effort it takes.

    Thanks for the suggestion.
