Bidding for zMUD (and CMUD) startup MUD icons
|
Last Day!...Bidding ends tonight (Wed) at midnight EST.
This is your yearly chance to get an icon for your MUD added to the zMUD startup screen.
---
For detailed information on what a "zMUD startup icon is", go to the Icon Information page. For detailed information on how the bidding process for the zMUD icons works, go to the Bidding Information page.
To create an account to bid on an icon or to view your existing bidding account, go to the Main Bidding Page.
If you have questions on the bidding process, post them here or send email to zugg@zuggsoft.com.
Bidding will end at Midnight, February 23rd, 2006 (PST).
Each year we hold an auction to determine which ten MUD icons get displayed in the initial zMUD startup screen. This is one of the best ways to advertise a MUD since it puts your MUD icon in the face of brand new MUD players who are looking for a MUD to play. Last year, the startup icons were downloaded over 100,000 times by new MUD players.
In 2006, the top-ten icons that win the bidding process will also be added to CMUD when it is released. Since every installation of CMUD will be a NEW installation, the icons will be seen by even more people that before (in the past only new installations of zMUD got the latest icons downloaded).
Last year, the top icon position went for $4000, and the tenth icon position went for $1100. Remember that in case of a tie, the earliest bid wins.
Let the bidding for 2006 begin! |
