Sell me on Lusternia
Hi folks,
I've been trying to get into MUDs for like fifteen years and nothing has stuck. Recently Lusternia randomly caught my eye. I understand that IRE no longer supports it, which is a good thing, as it's now just like any other MUD out there: actually free to play with volunteers who run it.
What intrigues me is the world and the focus on roleplay. I went through the tutorial and found the combat really cool, as well--you actually have to wait until you can act and type your actions in. I've tried some other MUDs recently that felt more like the game was playing itself (I'm still reading the room description, meanwhile something has attacked me, and I've attacked back and killed it before I've even realized anything is happening).
So, knowing that I have a good feeling about it, sell me: what's cool about the combat, questing, crafting, and interaction with other players?
EDIT: I'm also the kind of player who's going to be playing probably for like 5 hours a week max. So keep that in mind.
Thanks!
