if i wanted my mud to be 100% realistic, i would have my characters
get jobs, possibly have em screw it up, get fired, and live
as a bum in the streets of New York for the rest of their life begging
for money.
That's the point behind a hack-n-slash type mud. Realism is not
usually that big of a deal. I always thought INVENTORY was considred
a little bag that you ALWAYS carry, and can't lose. That's why it always
seemed realistic. Ever hear of IMAGINATION?

What IS your problem? Too much stress? Stop playing the
EXTREMELY relistic muds from now on, and you may get a chance to
relax. A Mud (in MY mind) has always been a place to GET AWAY
from REALISM, where you ACTUALLY read the room descriptions, and use
your IMAGINATION (there's that word again) to picture what it would
be like. The less stress the better, and if I am forced to waste
my time to Sheath sword, get rock, put rock bag, unsheath sword, wield sword
then there really is no point to me playing that mud, now is there?

Realistic muds aren't stupid, IMO. I don't MIND having them, but
there's a FINE LINE between Fake Realism and EXTREME Realism.
Not to be mean or anything, but if someone wants to spend a large
amount of their time making their mud EVEN MORE realistic to the point
where you no longer have an inventory, more power to the moron.
Realism, i believe, should be in the Areas that the builders make.
I mean, WHERE ELSE but in a Mud could you kill someone and go back and do
it again, and have people cheer you on. (Mud-wise, not RL please)
Anyway, that's my $((1 << 1)/100) worth.
