Hi everyone. I used to play on quite a few mushes throughout the years, some long forgotten, some probably living in infamy forever (hello Firan). While I still have a few characters on a few mushes, everything has been become terribly quiet in recent years. I'm particularly saddened by the near-demise of the Game of Thrones-themed and somewhat unfortunately named "Game of Bones" which was thriving when I joined but is now pretty moribund. The other GoT-themed mush whose name I shall not name is more active but the micro-managing admin long squeezed every bit of joy from it. I miss the roleplay itself but I also miss the kind of community feeling I got from logging into places daily and chat and joke with people that were almost friends.
I know this is mudconnect and not mushconnect, but I'm hoping that perhaps someone out there has a few suggestions for fairly active games, ideally mushes that are heavy on RP and not so heavy on code or suggestions where I could try and find one. I'm mostly interested in games that are based on some sort of pop culture like Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Firefly/Serenity and so on as I find it hard to get my head around completely fictional new worlds, especially when I don't know if it's worth the effort or the game will die again after a few months (which I've had happen more than once). But I'd take a completely new world too, as long as it's no too out there - medieval fantasy-light stuff or, at a pinch, science-fiction prefered.
