Alright im in the middle of creating a mudd game with some friends and they asked me to do a survey to see how many people think they would enjoy our game. our game is medevil times set on a island. Theres player run shops so you can sell your items, a huge tradeskill set up so you can customize your items and the ones you want to sell, retrainable charaters so when you peek you can remake your charater to a different profession while still retaining some of the skills from the other profession. weekly events, instance dungeons so that you can either solo or group up and kill a big boss, expansive map with many different towns and hidden villages,many different classes, and a players forum so that you can add suggestions of what you would like to see in the game. the reason were asking for this survey is because were in the money phase and getting ready to buy our server and there is a disagreement on the size of the server. so were looking for interested people who think they would like to come and play our game. thank you in advance

It's hard to gage interest of a game by a simple forum post.

Have you guys created a website detailing the game mechanics and features of the game? I could be way off here, but you could probably get a much more accurate number of people interested by creating a website that holds all the information of the game.

Once you have that done, it would also be easier to promote your game.

roughly how high will you be before you peak, cuz i as a mud player, can get really high.. ^_^

Have you considered using a hosting company? Doing a google search for the terms "mud hosting" turns up a few options. You could try one out for a few months before buying a server in order to get a better idea of what your needs will be.

no there is no website yet we are still working out the bugs on the engine, we hope to have one up in about 6 months, and 6 months after that were hoping to open up beta. were still trying to figure out what we want to use for a lvl cap before you can restart your char. but we were thinking of leaving that up to the players to decide how they would like it in the forums. yes weve looked into the hosting companies, but decided that the game would be too far out of our control if there server crashed, where if it crashes in our office we can fix it then and there. yes your right it is hard to gage the interest of a game with a forum post, but ive posted to serveral sits and had about 40 replys in the matter of a couple hours. OOOO ya one more thing the spelling is better in the game =P
