| First off, usually the request for information is accompanied with an assurance. "I'll still play hear", they will say, or "I won't take players from here" they might say. That's actually a fallacy.

| Hope Island is reasonably close to being that, and that is why it is "successful" (arguably). The more splintered MUCKs and the more specific themes get, the more spread thin the pool of people who want to roleplay, and the less people show up on these MUCKs. And ultimately, the whole batch of them die due to people leaving MUCKing or going back to the big ones. | Hope Island is reasonably close to being that, and that is why it is "successful" (arguably).
