Re: [Shadowdale] Fw: SDmud.org webpages

Well, the players that were "playing" really didn't have all that much problem getting their characters up to max level in just a week or so anyway.  Those that made their maxxed-level characters in a short time usually helped out those with less time to play and whatnot.  By this point, restoring characters really wouldn't make that much of a difference.  It's been months since the game went down.  Those that have come back over the years are mostly going to do so again.

Keeping the mud online would help gain more of a player base but you still will have those of us that will never give up unless the mud never returns.

BTW...

What does he mean by old server vs new server, hardware or software?

Speaking as a person who currently doesnt have anything above level 1 on SD,
but has had experience with the history of Shadowdale player wipes, I would
say I would put off only unless its a last restore a player wipe.  That
always hurt the mud when we had to do those.  In most cases when we did do
those we would advance players back to their old levels (and just had to
trust they were telling us the truth, but honestly what does it hurt?).

I vote we reload the mud code / player files back from 1996!  Back when I
was level 59 ;)
