CrystalMUSH is a game based on some of the works of Anne McCaffrey, originally launched in the 90’s, and running with various levels of activity until the early 2010’s. At that point, it dropped off the net, because I as the host was dealing with my wife’s chronic health conditions, and didn’t have the time or energy to deal with it.
But, it’s back. I relaunched the game a few weeks ago, and was absolutely shocked to have a surge of old players return. We’ve also had some new members arrive, but we’d love to have some more new members in our community.
tl;dr Theme Info
CrystalMUSH is set on a quarantined mining planet, host to a strange silicon symbiote that alters the people who live there, and makes them unable to stay away from the planet permanently. The ‘crystal’ mined on the planet is used for many different high tech devices, including starship drives, data crystals, and FTL communication. Players take on the role of members of the Heptite Guild, the company that controls the planet, with jobs ranging from technicians and doctors, up to the Crystal Singers who explore the planet looking for veins of crystal to mine.
The game has heavily coded systems for finding, mining, and selling the crystal, with an ingame currency, but is still largely RP driven, with an active community of people joining together to create stories. Since the re-launch, we have already brought down a fresh class of recruits (including at least two brand new players, as well as alts of existing players who wanted to try something new), and had multiple days with 30+ characters logged in. We’d love to see some fresh players, so if you enjoy 80’s and 90’s space opera scifi, or just want to try out something new, we’d love to see you.
There is a bit of dust, as we re-learn the game’s coded systems ourselves, and fix up old / clunky / quirky systems to be a bit friendlier, but everyone is friendly and generally happy to answer questions or help out.
