I’ve set up a new system on the OtherSpace MUSH site that allows players to make friends, join groups, and earn achievements by participating in the online community.
Currently, we’ve got the following groups:
- Spacers’ Welcome: Where new players can ask questions and get guidance about OtherSpace.
- Stellar Consortium: For players who want to talk about the Stellar Consortium faction.
- Fagin’s Riches: For players discussing the shady underworld of The Fringe ruled by Lord Fagin the Pirate King.
- Parallax: For players interested in the Nall-controlled Parallax region.
- OtherSpace Sustainers: A private group for players who contribute to us via Patreon.
Many achievements gained while participating in the community earn players points that can either improve their standing on the leaderboard or be spent on special icons for their profiles here on the site.
More achievements will be added over time, but here’s what we have so far:
