Origional Idea (I think)

[-Wolfe]

I have seen tons of MUDs all claiming to have new and origional
ideas, but I think I just thought of one. Unfortunatly I am not a coder
so I don't have any idea if it is even feasable. When you start a game
you usually pick one of 4 or so classes your basic warrior thief magic
user or cleric. Then there are the games that you can pick one of about
15 different classes....some very similar...
What about opening with a choice of 4 classes then at a higher
level be able to chose where you want to become more specialized,
essentially picking another class inside of a class that gives you more
benefits and some downfalls. ie. start as a thief later train as an
assassin or something else. or a cleric then you can become a priest,
more of a warrior type cleric, maybe a paladine.

Anyway, it was just a thought, and if it was not entirely
origional, please tell me where I can find it.

Copper had this about 3 years ago...its down now (copper III is in the
works) but you can find copper source around still. We used to do it this
way, but ditched it over time.

Thus spake r_w...@oz.plymouth.edu (-Wolfe):

This is currently being used at AnotherMud, where you start out by
chosing one of the 4 basic classes, and then at higher level one can
specialize. At the moment we only have 4 specialized classes (assassin,
necromancer, knight & shaman) but we are working on 12 new ones which
will soon be finished. (druid, witch, monk, bard, rogue, etc etc.)

Hmmm...as for the goblin/other race pk idea...

I have seen something similar to it. Check out MUME at 128.178.77.5
port 4242. It is a Tolkien-based role-playing mud. The races used in
the Lord of the Rings, and other Tolkien books are used, and the
multi-classing is not a set of rigid meta-classes, but based on how you
wish to spend the practices you earn with each level (i.e. there is a

The races include orcs and trolls, races specifically coded for your pk
enjoyment. These races are designed for your experience MUME-er,
though, and not a total newbie. (It takes a while to get adjusted to
MUME's weather systems, battle systems, world layout, and role-playing
atmosphere.) The idea is very near your idea with the 'two cities.'

Perhaps you would like to come and check it out. Even if you are
experienced, you may want to read all of the help files carefully. Some
of the commands are very new, and some work very differently from the
same command in gamma diku.
