I'd like to know how our player counts dropped so low.

I know a major portion of my players were all classmates at some school, and, school being out, they don't log in. I doubt they're multis because I've spoken with them at various times and frankly, MonBre really sucks for being a multi user. I guess it's just a bit of a shock to see 67 people logged in and now we have 33.

I do really want to get good money one day, especially after I'm done with MurCity, and really spend good amounts of time on MonBre to make it look:

1. prettier
2. more fun

I think all the changes I've taken recently are steps in the right direction, such as valor kills, and the way raids are handled, but I am aware that this game is one giant mother fucker and as such it is sorta sensitive to change. I do have more plans down the pipe like things that happen when you hit your max valor.

I'm still developing MurCity much more than MonBre and I feel that's the best choice I can be making in life right now. The job market is way worse than I thought it was, NONE of my friends who are looking for work now, can find it. With the holiday positions now seizing up, it's going to be even worse. I'm making it my goal to make at least $20 a day with my internet job, kgb_ and hopefully soon I can afford a real dedicated server. MonBre won't go on it immediately. My plans are still to be done with MurCity around the March-April connection, rest with it and bring it to facebook, get paypals all set up (might do that sooner, for monbre, too) and then just relax a bit. Maybe around June I can come back to this game and make it more accesible.

Well that's what's up. See ya'll.

Killer Killer has convinced me to add Lacus next week. Surrounding mobs, maybe even roads, who knows. I'll rip the tiles too, I think.

I never use roads, so no need for roads, for we blind people, because, as far as I know, the minimaps aren't accessible, and I've just turned off untagged graphical link display, so they don't clutter up my xPlore screen. Also, the decline may be because people are going on thxgiving vacation, and are too busy playing with cousins or uncles or aunts or grandmas (immagine playing tag with Grandma! Lol!), and are too busy to log in. 3 of my friends are doing that right now, another one claims he can't play until 1/27/10 because his brother's on too much and hogging the computer, and another one ... I think he's probably on vacation, but I can't confirm it. I only know him indirectly - I haven't met him face-to-face, and all that.

I'm almost sad that you had to resort to vallor kills to get people to play. I mean I liked having a limitless environment, where I could do anything, where I know anything is possible. Admittedly has hasn't really affected me, and I guess it's better 'cause i get more srp. But what if it does? And that's the thing that annoys me kind of. Remember when I was in my haydays, with my training-up monster always at the top of most levelups? Oh, those were the days.

Well, Killer, browser-based games need limits. This is exactly what MonBre needed. People were playing way too much and they'd get burnt out. Some people, like you, seem immune to burning out. I think it really is a visual thing. As a blind person you are more open-minded to text or exploring games. The blind people I've met on here have been nothing but wonderful to me and that's why I took the extra time to make valor effects for the blind today. (rather than tomorrow)

Also, not sure if you'll read this, but I can't get Lacus done today. I'll start a little and I'll have to finish tomorrow.

Just get it done at your own pace. I mean I'm not waiting for it to be done; I have other things to do as well.

What has changed with valor? I didn't see it.
