*[[Yasmine Six]]'s character page is up and I changed the style of the site a little bit after getting some feedback from people who thought the prior colors were drab. You should be able to see the background through the page now as well which I think gives the site more flavour since it's not really possible to texture the actual page portion of the site AFAIK. The forum sections now have some picture headings as well. --[[User:Amatsuka|Amatsuka]] 18:32, September 8, 2011 (UTC)

*So, first of all, we have a forum now! Exciting. You can find the link to it along the top of every page.

I'll eventually throw up examples in the form of my own character and business. --[[User:Amatsuka|Amatsuka]] 04:12, June 24, 2011 (UTC)
 
*There was some category reshuffling. Speed Skills, Strength Skills, and Vitality Skills were replaced with Speed, Strength, and Vitality. A new Skills category was added instead to serve as a master category and which will host a complete skill chart. --[[User:Amatsuka|Amatsuka]] 09:27, February 15, 2011 (UTC)
 
*Added [[Disclaimers]] page. This is for any general warnings that the playerbase feels necessary to inform new players of so that they aren't caught unaware. Feel free to add whatever you like to the page, but I will moderate it for defamatory remarks. --[[User:Amatsuka|Amatsuka]] 13:32, January 16, 2011 (UTC)
 
*One of Buffymud's weaknesses is it can be difficult for new players and even some long term players to understand the game they're playing which is one of the reasons I believe in the wiki. I'd really like to see the wiki almost entirely replace much of the need for the current in game support we have. With the current design, I think it's helpful for people who already know what they're looking for or to supplement mentors in providing their mentorees with information, but I think new people in general don't know what they need to look for. So, in addressing that, I'm going to start making a series of pages to serve as a kind of interactive walkthrough about all the features of the game. We can link existing and future content into it and, if nothing else, it can serve as a kind of [[Player's Guide|table of contents]] for the whole wiki. --[[User:Amatsuka|Amatsuka]] 18:39, January 14, 2011 (UTC)
 
*Cleared the news and I've been thinking about having a contest for the wordart that you see on every page. Right now it just reads Buffy MUD in red and the Buffy font, but if any of you want to make contributions, I'll put up a vote so we can collectively decide what to use. The rules are that the background should be color f2f2f2 (the background color of each page) and have the label Buffy MUD in it somewhere. Submissions also need to be 250x65 pixels. The wiki uses pngs, but I'd prefer a format that maintains layers if you have some other way of getting it to me just so I can change the background if the page ever changes, but otherwise, pngs with transparent backgrounds will do fine. --[[User:Amatsuka|Amatsuka]] 21:45, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to the BuffyMUD Wiki![]

This wiki is dedicated to the multiplayer, all text game, BuffyMUD. As the mechanics and other aspects of the game are either undocumented or inconsistently so, all of the information here should be considered potentially flawed in some way, but the community has pooled some of its knowledge and experiences here. All members should feel free to correct inconsistent and erroneous data.

News

  • Changed the main page a little and the forum completely. Template:News and Template:What We Need must be edited for now in order to change what's displayed in those fields on the main page. --Amatsuka 07:58, October 7, 2011 (UTC)
  • Logging in should change the font to white if it's not displaying that way for you otherwise. --Amatsuka 04:09, September 9, 2011 (UTC)
  • Yasmine Six's character page is up and I changed the style of the site a little bit after getting some feedback from people who thought the prior colors were drab.

What We Need

Feel free to cross off any of the listed requests if you've made a page concerning it!

Primer on the Buffy theme
Newbie introduction and guide
Class guides: Witches/Sorcerers; Fighters; Warriors; Watchers; Soldiers; Cultists; Slayers
Comprehensive skill lists: Martial Arts Styles; Weapon Skill; Weapon Assembly; Demon Buffs (Mortalities added)
Some pages that need work: Artifacts; Techniques; Jobs; Socials; General Magic; Aligned Magic

  • Many of the strength, speed, and vitality costs on these lists need corrected by +20 points to account for the starting 20 stats in each category.

Class Train Costs: VampWitch; Slayer(Demon); Fighter(Demon)

Guides: Many of the guides are a mess format wise. Most of them should eventually be integrated into their relevant pages.

Helpfiles: Many if not most helpfiles corresponding to skills, especially melee skills, have outdated and inaccurate requirements.

Sections that need consolidated: Rules and policy helpfiles(including summary of rulings in announcements or on forum); Communication helpfiles; Artifacts; Shop and house commands; Concept helpfiles

  • Sections on commands, events, jewelry/clothing adjustments, descriptions, nemesis events, and dungeons would be much appreciated as well.
  • Improving and correcting any of the old help files, especially the larger and more referenced ones is always helpful though eventually it will be ideal to phase them all out in favour of pages more suited to this format.
  • Many pages could use organizational and aesthetic improvement.
  • Many helpfiles can be consolidated instead of having information spread amoung several, paragraph length pages.
  • Basically all the categories could use descriptions or work on their descriptions
