I'm pretty sure they'd never mess around trying to shut down MUDs...
I myself know about 5 people who work for TSR, and each last one of them
play Toril MUD.. <an AD&D diku..> and they enjoy it.. but they don't
plan on shutting it down, so I'm pretty sure as long as you
don't do something stupid like.. make a drow elf named Tiamat
or something.. and you have it all in character, they won't mind..
this is ONLY AN OPINION, so don't go quoting me if you get in trouble
