tell your sysop to install mzklord so there's fake players.

I blame people not having local BBS's to log in to and we don't
'know our neighbors' anymore...

People still play multiplayer games online all the time (they're just different forms than BBS door games). I doubt physical distance has to do with it. I think it's just that there are far fewer people using BBSes these days than there used to be.

Yeah - I was specifically referring to why LORD is not full of players
like in the old days... Cause the BBS is not full of users. :-)

also before this big loss of users sysops thought it was a great idea to install hundreds of doorgames. that's absolutely not how you help user interaction. seth himself said how to get user interaction in the docs.

sysops thought making things complicated was a good idea.

I don't really see the issue with some door games being common on many BBSes. I think that could actually be a good thing - That means if a user runs out of turns in the game or runs out of time on one BBS, it doesn't mean they have to wait until the next day to play it again. The user could go play the game on another BBS that has that game installed.

that's a weird way to think about it. they want to play the game they invested into. maybe if it was something like scrabble i'd do that. but where you have to build a character, i just dont see that happening.

Yeah, less is more, sometimes, but where I lived back in the heyday
sysops wanted several style of doors to attract different people. :-)
