Interesting. I have almost the same exact system on my mud. Although I do
use
an AFF_FLAG (in combination with POS_GHOST) to distinguish ghosts.
I though I had come up with something unique to my mud, guess it really is
true that there are no NEW ideas! :)

I guess that depends on your point of view. I dont see a problem with
ghosts
roaming around exploring since there is now way for them to get experience
or even pick up items. The reason our ghosts can go through closed doors
is that they cant open them. It is sleightly harder to get a ghost on our
mud
since we have a lifeforce stat that is decremented each time the character
dies and you dont become a ghost till your lifeforce goes to zero. We also
have ways to get your ghost resurrected, although there is a penalty to your
stats.
Does anyone else have something similar on their muds?
