Any mudder can tell you that mudding may get you fired and will most certainly
make you lose your real life friends. There are so many reasons not to mud,
that it is hardly interesting to list them. Much more interesting is it to
list the reasons why to join a mud without seriously playing it. Therefore,
today, I will give you 10 reasons not to mud on a mud.
- Gaining experience and money is pointless. Sure, you can study and train
skills and spells, but to what end? To gain more power and fight more powerful
monsters? And then what? It is just as much fun to fight easier monsters,
which will get you plenty experience and money that you don't need.
- No matter how high you get, you will still solo in the same old newbie areas
that you solo in now. I am sure you noticed how many level 100 players wander
around in the orc scout tree, newbie forest and the playing ground. Learn from
them, don't follow them without thinking.
- Getting fun is much more important than getting rich or strong. It is, after
all, your free time and you should enjoy yourself!
- Making experience fast will give you too little time to look around. You
miss the most funny and interesting things that way.
- It is very easy to stay alive, even at low levels.
- No matter how high you get, you will still suck. And get killed. And
insulted by me. You will never get as strong as you want, get the respect you
long for or be as important as you hope. Just accept that, there is no
alternative.
- You have much less worries. Who cares about equipment and damaged items and
weapons if you are killing small monsters and fooling around all the time.
Instead, wear the funny things, strange clothes, adjust your description and
have a different interesting look every day. It is all possible at the lowest
levels.
- Most frustration stems from failing. You don't fail if you don't try and you
don't need to try if you just hang around and enjoy yourself.
- Most of the bored players are very high levels. Apperently, mudlife gets a
lot more boring if you get higher.
- Players can surprise you. Raiding the same areas zillions of time not. This
makes interactions with fellow mudders much more enjoying. Just like
exploring.
 
So, go see some stuff, wear funny outfits and TALK TO ME! 
I like that.
