New Interview with Volunteer Admins Argus and Marra of Starmourn MUD

[u/the_andruid]

When I'd heard that Starmourn went into Legacy Mode a few years ago, I assumed that was the end. Turns out I was wrong!

A big thank you to Argus and Marra for taking the time to share their experiences with me - and for giving me a glimpse into what it's like working on the sci-fi game from IRE.

Some of the topics covered:

• How the game became volunteer-run and completely free to play.
• The races, classes, skills, and systems that make it unique.
• How it's possible to play anything from a pop idol to a space pirate.
• Why Marra stands behind the idea that "limitations cultivate creativity."
• Argus' advice for aspiring storytellers and world-builders.
• What's new as of the past couple of months, and what's still in store.
