Hrm,
Yah i found i saw muds in a very different way now im running/coding one i
think players ad a lot to the mud, and the interaction between
them should be encouraged. Also in depth mob progs and a lot of original
worlds and puzzels. Uhm, adding weather and other things
similar adds to the effect of a real world.
Getting the players into your mud world is harder than making the
world itself.
