>>Voted, Aardwolf cheats.
It's probably more fair to say Aardwolf is a lot more proactive about getting people to vote. As it stands, the only real efforts to have people vote on DR's side are through player efforts. There's no in-game reminder/encouragement except a button on the web client (I think?).
DR would have numbers around Aardwolf if we got like a fifth of our daily players voting, and I'm probably underestimating how many votes a fifth of DR's daily active playerbase would add up to.
Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.

Yeah it would be great to see DR at the top - since we do have the population to achieve it.
The graphs are neat to look at:

http://mudstats.com/World/AardwolfMUD
Assuming these graphs are correct, Aardwolf has a greater population/more active than DR with a big spike in winder-spring 2012. Wonder what they did there.

Anyone visiting the site who is new or returning to MUDs would be inclined to try one of the top 5. For some reason the majority of regulars believe DR consists of 15 players who pay for 50 accounts each :P Knocking off the top tier MUDs would show them we have numbers and are motivated and involved.
At the very least, it is something every person can do to further our cause!

even at a 1% clickthrough rate, we'll hopefully bring in a few fresh faces. I don't think our push should be to reestablish the web migration numbers... that boat may have sailed, but every good player that comes is a welcome addition. And honestly, without aiming for snark, I'd wager the effect from voting would be more positive than the effect from not voting. I don't expect us to place 1st on that chart. We cost, they don't, they "accentuate" their numbers, we don't... but the higher on that list we are, the more people out click on us, and hopefully, the more good roleplayers for you and I.

I watched a short video on Aardwolf the other day - and DR is way way more immersive than Aardwolf. They do have some nice features like their maps, their IG maps look great. But their NPC's seem more like you are playing Nintendo. Like Type "list" to show my wares. basically all their NPCs are completely OOC.
