is everyone? LOG ON! I'm bored.

I've been asking myself that question since late June:

Why on earth would fluid PK w/ often more than 8 particpants degenerate into occasional stragglers appearing for 1 second visits from one week to the next? Was it the loss of Koradin and his trades? Changes to dodge or bash? The full looting epidemic?

Cmon people it can't be that important!

From what I've heard, activity started to drop off sharply after June 22nd.

21. Koradin quit the MUD on June 22nd.
------------------------

Was it one of the 20 forum threads above, or was it Koradin quitting and trades not going through at that time?

Koradin quit???:|

I just got bored with the game, I have achieved all there is to achieve on ds and without pk there's not much to do when I play ls.

Activity is also time dependent, usually at this time of year everyone is busy with something irl, I recall in 2008 sometime around September I made master from spam killing tall soldiers and in December made rank 9 and in that time (5 months total) I would occasionally see a random player log on and ask if there was any pk and instantly log back off.

Galnor jump started the mud with his ingenious global event which was 07/16/2009

We need new players to keep this mud going, the same old pk vs the same old players has been extremely boring, we know who is better or worse at pk, we know each others tactics and styles.

Without the possibility of pk we need more solo oriented things to do. You can only smob for so much equipment, can only exp to lvl 50, can earn so much gold until it's pointless. I believe we lost a lot of player activity with the removal of qp quests. Most players end game is not a full set or a ton of gold it's making master and remorting.

WTF?!?!?!?!?!?! Why the hell did koradin quit???? was there anything in the forums that i missed about it? omg........that's actually upsetting he was an excellent IMM

19. Players exchanged raps: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4762

I knew this marked the downfall of this MUD.

lol alder, least mine was reworked copy pasty.

Over time a lot of his ideas have been yanked, like raids and passive shot. Players complained that he always came up with stuff that unbalanced the MUD. My guess is one or both contributed.

koradin quitting almost makes me want to play again, i mean, i won't be getting killed afk in my own clan room or any other retarded shit like that.

Damn raps

game needs more fun content. not just pvp...and pvp.

qft!

some imms are working their ass off on quest but I for one don't get much enjoyment our of them, not that they aren't cool just that I don't log on the game to have to think, I prefer mind numbing activities like pk, statting, and exping.

We need some new goals for achieving and sadly to say the only achievements I am interested in are one that directly relate to pk as this is a pk mud such as quest worth qps, the ability to smith new and unique weapons that aren't lame retooled versions of current eq.

a way to earn a sir name would be really awesome.

I want to play! but that silly play now telnet thing doesnt work for me...+p


Oh HAI!

Make sure you have Java installed.

computer i have access to doesnt have java installed and i dont wanna go installing things on someone elses computer +p. So no playing for me.. =p

Windows XP -
Click start
select Run
type 'cmd' hit enter
in the box type 'telnet'
then type 'o www.kinslayermud.org 2222'

you don't need to install anything caus thats windows telnet so no java needed.

Windows 7 -
*Windows 7 doesn't have telnet as a defult so you will have to turn it on*
click start
Control Panel
*change view to small icons*
select programs and features
select 'Turn windows features on or off'
check telnet client and press ok
Then click start
in the search bit in the start menu type cmd
and follow the same as xp from that point

Windows Vista -
I'm pretty sure vista is the same as 7 and doesn't have telnet on as defult but im not sure if it's done the same way as Windows 7 but it could be.
