    Made a big jump of the server version while working on fixing some registration issues. Things look wonky on my end and likely will on your end too for a bit. I’ll try to get those bits nailed down. I’ll make a discussion thread as usual so you can report things.

    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.

    @Roadspike said in Lords and Ladies Game Design:

    Agree with @MisterBoring’s note that some people will complain even if you reach out and ask them directly to intervene… and you’re never going to please those people.

    Those people are probably my second biggest pet peeve in the entire MU hobby after the multitude of sex pests and other creepers.

    @Pyrephox Thanks! Thomas is still one of my favorite characters, glad to hear from you. Bummer to hear you’re not playing anywhere these days, but neither was I for longer than I ever was, so I get that. Hope to run into you some place if you ever get back into it.

  • Gloves off, but don't be a total asshole.

    @SpilledBeanz said in Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo:

    I don’t think you deserve anything to happen to you because you decided to check on a game that has bad publicity, and if you continue to play on AoA I, for one, wish you fun stories.

    No worries. I only posted about it again because once more it was said, “Well! You can go try it for yourself, but…” And I’m still like, “Well, I mean, I did. Still no issues.” Still not trying to trivialize other peoples’ experiences, just updating about my own, like a cave explorer.

    Britain’s oldest performing drag queen, Maisie Trollette, has passed away aged 91

    A bit of a niche one, but anyone with a toe in the British queer community has likely heard the name.

    Claire Obscur: Expedition 33 Release Date Trailer

    Well, I know what I’ll be doing on April 24th.

    I don’t normally endorse these kinds of videos, but…

    XBox Deep Dive into Expedition 33

    fan my face

    (ETA)“This team gets it.” is basically where I’m at. I mean, even just talking about why there’s a world map I was like: snap point(/ETA)

    Also, I would go gay for the Creative Director because of his accent.
