Nuke it. I did.

Keep it mainly the same, though I tossed the water guy, taco guy and the
pet store.

Generally a rather useless area. Might be nicer if it had a purpose, or
atleast a bit more adventure. Might make a good newbie area with a bit
of work.

Indeed. Might also look for the additions for Moria Levels 5+ with the
Hydra's and all that... dont know if they are public though.

I recall there was a cool pyramid area out there as well, that might fit
in. Anyone have a copy of this area, or know where I might find one?

I'm turning Quif's place into a really small, but VERY high level zone,
a la Redferne's place at Fajita DIKU.

Making these a bit more cohesive might be nice, so that its not sea hags
in one room and a dragon in the next. Expanding each area a bit so that
there is more of a "community" of mobs, rather than a single room might
be nice.

I actually nuked this one as well. Not that its so horribly written, but
that a Roman area just doesnt really fit in the medieval flavor of DIKU,
particularly with the Norse gods.

Might just rename some of the guards to generic names as well, like
"King's Guard" rather than "Tim". The only thing to be careful of when
you do this is to make sure the procs attached to each mob also get
adjusted. Some mobs look to see if others exist (by name) in the room
before acting.

I'd say axe it, or atleast from the index list that it parses to see
which zones to load. If its actually loaded, then people can "teleport"
into it at random. The files could be left in, but just dont load it.
