Okay, this is just to let people know about a mud I've been trying out recently.
The mud is cosmic rage cosmicrage.nathantech.net port 7777. There is also an official soundpack for vipmud,type @soundpacks in game for the most current link (remember the at sign, ie :). ? The mud is run by Nathan smith, who's a member of the audiogames.net forum, though the mud has a growing number of both sighted and vi players, plus it has a team of dedicated builders. It's been up since july of this year, and the progress is quite astounding. To those who've played muds like miriani and star conquest, cosmic rage shares a few of the same principles, but is extremely different in feel, for a start there is no unrestricted pvp. The game is set in space, with you playing as one of four races, human, dragon (yes space dragons!), cy-larken, (a robotic race), or the ryuchi, human/dragon hybrids. In the game you do various activities to raise in rank, ---- 45 different activities actually with new ones being added. Activities start off with fairly simple planet based things like hunting, hand mining, and digging into volcanos for ores (being careful of monsters of course). They then go through piloting trash collection trucks and volcano harvesters, up to several activities involved with boats and boating, harvesting gasious pollution from planet's atmospheres to eventually getting a spaceship. Once you have a ship the real fun starts. Combat missions (and combat in this particular space game isn't too tough), as well as activities like orbit cleaning, passenger transport etc. One thing I really like about the space flight aspect of things is that there are aa lot of details and realistic touches, for example setting your heat shields for landing or launching from planets occasionally getting your ship damaged by small dust particles in space, and little alien ratica, ---- nasty little creatures that invade your ship when your doing innocuous activities like orbit cleaning. With the huge number of activities, the game certainly doesn't feel grindy, however there is more as well. There are npcs with quests on offer to ind them various items or slay enemies, there is ground combat against monsters, there is lots of crafting and even building factories. The game has an rp policy, but it's not overly stringent, though I will advise people to make sure to ask any b"where is" type of questions on general chat channel rather than the newbie channel (this one rather confused me, but hay it's just one different command). I'd highly recommend this one, especially if, like me you didn't find yourself able to get on with some of the other space games, this one is much more about the fun activities, rp is there for those who want to, and pvp again is restricted only to specific arenas. Plus, I have to say levels come very very! quickly, and there are so many activities the game doesn't get at all grindy, quite aside from the quests, crafting etc. all the best, Dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
