I have played for a while now and just pick up on things. I play alone with what little time I have in my life but what about the swings that go on. Nexus had great numbers, then it was fortress for a long time, and so on. You know who you are. Do you text your friends in Pittsburgh, and say log on or do you do it through IM? One has to wonder what really goes on as I get random messages from kanye trying to tell me who other characters are and I'm not the biggest fan of his and he sends me these things. It's not very accurate but he atill sends them to me for some purpose I don't understand or be just wants the whole mud to know who's playing who. If he does this then I wonder what it's like for the best friends.
One can only speculate but you do see a lot of patterns on a game like this. You see the same two people log on together all the time or a cabal gets really strong. I just wonder if they tell each other to make another character for a different cabal. To actually deny it makes you look stupid. It goes on but I just wonder to what extent. I've heard of the Pittsburgh crew, the Russian crew, etc...I just wonder how many more there are that coordinate ooc.
Would you admit it? I highly doubt it.
