Here are some sweeping changes I'm thinking about incorporating and adding to the TODO list (bear in mind this list is fluid and can change at will, especially if players offer good suggestions - this is your chance to participate in the next iteration of this MUD):
MUD School is going to be hosed and replaced has been supplanted by a new area with an active survival quest that new characters will be immediately dropped into. I might stick with the basic "MUD school" premise, but it will be something along the lines of "an army of skeletons has attacked the school and kidnapped the adepts of Furey and Hatchet - you must rescue them!" kind of scenario - probably not precisely like that but Something that would strives to make a new player eager to get started, rather than bore them to tears. Not to mention, the number one thing that causes new players to quit upon checking out a MUD is MUD School.
