A Land Far Away

In my opinion, Haze allowed me to see the good and the bad side of crafting. When players used it well, it constructively contributed to the setting. When treated as an end in and of itself (rather than as a means by which to roleplay) it diluted the setting. It became a race to farm the required ra...

Nice picture. I like how you've portrayed the balanced stance of him standing there.

When I log on, I intend to stay on for 1-3 hours. If I'm not getting 'entertainment value' inside 30 minutes, I log off. If there's no other player in the vicinity I log off. I currently have a low patience threshold.

If a HDM is willing to build a server from scratch, and is quite content to see it sit empty for the majority of the time, apart from a regular group playing once or twice a week*, then that server is serving its purpose, and thats a group of players we might not otherwise have, and is thus valuabl...

At ALFA Gold + 16 weeks, we will have had enough time to generate some player number trends. If those trends show that we have achieved an average of 1-6 players on for 10 hours a day across a period of 28 days and the scope of all servers, density targets will be considered met for the first Expan...

The Realms are big. Even before I joined ALFA I was impressed that a Persistent World team had the bottle to attempt to model the greater proportion of it. Looking at what you have achieved, I think it is quite remarkable. However, the larger a Persistent World becomes, the more tedious travel becom...

Hi. Welcome. You might wish to post some pertinent details about your timezone and intended play hours so those in the know can make an informed recommendation. That said, it seems relatively easy to move from server to server, so any initial choice isn't crippling. The Shadowdale server seems to ha...

Thanks for the clarification. The only thing I can suggest then with regard to improving player density is: - ALFA wide, determine which servers are most in need of maintenance. Develop sweeping plots which close traffic to those servers for a period of time, as determined by need or IC actions. - D...

As a newcomer to ALFA, I'm not well-versed in DM policy, so may I ask a question to clarify this discussion in my own mind: Are DM's 'connected' solely to one server, or are they allowed to log-in as DM's across several servers? If its the case that DMs are currently restricted, might there be a cas...
