Hey Everyone- Just wanted to share will all of you what I intend to do to my login screen on my mud. I have gotten several emails from brand new players who have never played a mud before saying something like, "I need the password to play your mud. What is it?" or "How can I register to play your mud, it asks for my name and password." I am either going to add a menu like press [1] to play with your existing character, press [2] to create a NEW character. Or I might do something like Enter your character's name or 'new' to crate a new character. I think this would be much more newbie friendly. I know some muds already do this, but based on the amount of feedback I get, I think it's a pretty good idea. Just though you might be interested, -Brian -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Brian Guilbault - GMI Engineering Institute E-mail: guil9964@gmi.edu, dante@i-55.com WWW: http://apollo.gmi.edu/~guil9964 QuarantineMUD: Telnet to exit1.i-55.com 4000 -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
