What can we say? We love power-trips. Anyways, what I wanted to say was that it is true. That damn mud has a way of 'folding' which updates all code without needing any reboot and the only side effect is the slight freeze it experiences. They have some awesome coders there! And ninety percent of the things I have coded in are ideas from that mud - like brewing potions, scribing scrolls, gate spells, monster summoning spells, and soon to be added - polymorph spells. I highly recommend those that need ideas to log on that mud. I severely doubt they would share any codes though because some of the immorts there are on power-trips (hmm..now i know where we got our power-trips from *grin* Anyways, glad of hearing some new thread for once!
