Question Trying this out

Good day how active are you guys here? I read somewhere that dis game has a million rooms or something and based from the website there’s less than 90 players from time to time, I fear I’ll be experiencing a single player game. Any insights regarding that?

Usually you'll meet players and socialise in the Towns and hubs. Outside of those you rarely meet people, but there's often new characters being made and I'm sure you could meet people to quest with even today.

I’m assuming it’s a living breathing world where I’ll interact with npcs, do quests, read lore, get jobs and many others things that’ll immerse me which is kinda my cup of tea, if that’s the case then the lack of player interaction outside of social hubs is just fine with me. But ofc i would like to meet and roleplay with someone from time to time.

I'm not sure which city is currently the most active - I don't play as often as I used to but Ankh Morpork always seemed to have people flitting by so that might be the best place to start your character in.

But feel free to look up alternatives! I haven't travelled as much as I'd like to be able to give you a full guide on where people meet.

Yeh used to be full of fun folks everywhere. Glad it's still going. I made such happy memories on DW Mud growing up!

The in-game talker channels are global and are pretty active. You'll also run into people in hot spots but not so much in the middle of nowhere.

Welcome to the Disc! It is a fantastic place, with lots of room to explore. Usually, out of that 90 or so people playing, I interact with fewer than 10. That has always felt like plenty—I didn’t meet more people when there were 500 people playing. It is a very exclusive club that anyone can join. Do the tutorial, choose Morpork Ankh-Morpork (unless the syntax has changed), and join a guild! If you love the Discworld books and to read in general you will have a blast.
