Frack the original.
The Truth About ForumsAt any rate, I feel like the kind of features and updates that should be implemented to attract a larger audience are mostly visual. M.U.L.E. is not the kind of game I would necessarily want open to anyone and all, but I think that the kind of players who would be attracted to the game would are the kind of players who play 4X games. So having a wider ranger of planets to choose from, and maybe implementing the racial differences in the game would open that up. The kinds of changes M.U.L.E. could use are more creative than algorithmic, in my opinion.
I would like to see the player count sky rocket because I would like to see advertisements in the lobby of the game. It feels like the developers have brought us this amazing game and we aren't paying for it, and they also have a strong sense of giving to the community what we ask. The least we could do is deal with advertising so they could generate revenue to support the game.
