Re: Text Based MMO HellMOO
..Does anyone still play this? @_@
Well, I started yesterday. Here's how it went:
I started as an orphan. Naturally, my first instinct was to kill other orphans.
Then I got killed by a rabid bully. I figured 'hey, there must be a reason I'm not getting any stronger, right'?
So I went to the museum. I went to the dreams before, I built my character, I walked out into the shiny light of Freedom... and was immediately told by another player that I fucked my build up royally.
Alright, fair enough.
So, I deleted my clone. I looked through the wiki. I got frustrated with how much stuff wasn't told to me in-game. I built my character again, got blown up a couple of times, then walked out into the light of Freedom once more... only to be told that I'd have to grind orphans for a couple real-life days to get anywhere, unless I got help from someone five times stronger than me.
But, I dutifully went out and ground orphans. I ground them until they were dust. Then I ground them some more. I explored. I leveled up. I learned how the controls worked, and how to interact with the world. Even through all of the bullshit so far, I was actually having a lot of fun with the game...
Then, the asshole nation attacked.
I was wondering why everyone here was complaining about assholes, and now I know. Let's say that's the short story.
The long story is, our corp was immediately robbed by a guy who claimed to be an admin and tricked a higher-up into getting us all to log out. He might actually have been an admin, for all I know. He tricked us into logging out, and then stole all of our shit while we were gone.
Next, after a while, the higher-up who got tricked got into a long-winded conversation with me where he threw accusations at me that I couldn't
disprove, then basically laughed when I asked him to please be a little nicer. The guy he was working under took his side, and I was fired from my corp after less than a day.
So, if you're wondering why people don't seem to be playing this much anymore... Well, there's that.
