Free Platinum 30 day trial

[Gizmo]

Well, right. But it does illustrate what's out there if people actually logged in.

I seem to recall even more, around the low 100s at some points during events there.

But for me it's been a while since I've played Plat....Last time I played, Keith was a new player there..

I hear Illistimi Wizards are the best in plat. Is that true?

Also don't forget how it's much easier to be involved in current events for a good thing.

I enjoy when a GM enters as a NPC and a small storyline is played out with those in the area. Great way to get to know your neighbors.

So... if I did a 30 day trial, and it was active during the 725 Simucoin offering, then swapped back to prime... I would effectively be up like... 2 dollars.

[Wyrom]

You don't get the SimuCoins until you are billed for the amount.

[Astray]

I'd sign up for it but with my luck I'd forget about the trial.

[Richaard]

I didn't use the free trial myself. But I was already prepared to jump in. Have yet to regret it. I'm enjoying both Prime and Platinum. Funny thing is I am playing Richaard in both but with two different play styles.

[Gizmo]

Plat has always been enjoyable so long as things are somewhat active, otherwise it can be a little dull when no one is on

If anyone does decide to try it out, here's a little list to help with setting up ;go2 for use in Platinum with our portals. It won't overwrite anything you have in Prime.

1. ;go2 list
2. backup your custom targets (precaution)
3. ;repo download go2.lic
4. ;repo download-mapdb
5. ;repo set-mapdb-updatable
6. Set go2 variables
a. ;go2 --fwi-trinket="trinket name"
b. ;go2 --portals=on
c. ;go2 --portal-pass=<on|off>

Single player Gemstone is called Zork. That's way cheaper than a platinum membership.

Edit to add:

That said, I was at an IC event the other night where people were ICly spouting wiki URLs and using words that were referencing cars and driving, and no one batted an eyelash. I found myself longing for just a little bit of RP integrity.

Platinum is probably held to those standards better, but Prime used to be a nice middle ground. In many cases it still is, but if platinum were the standard, or had a playerbase, it'd be the place for me.

Unfortunately, in a world where the main choice in MUDing is increasingly "find a MUD that isn't empty", paying EXTRA to play a mud that IS empty is a no-brainer turn down.
