Making that change was not something that we took lightly. Believe me on that one. > All we have seen recently is more efficient ways of doing things but is the > codebase ever going to evolve? To add stuff like Smaug, ROM, etc? We don't want to go there. We're out to create a stable _basic_ package. We don't want to have everything under the sun in the server. We want something basic and simple. Not everyone wants colour, races, etc, etc. On my own personal mud, I only decided to add colour about 8 months ago. I only added races a year and a half ago. And that was because I didn't want them before that. Heck, I still don't like colour. :) > I personally would love to see a circle codebase with manual color, olc, > dgscripts, buildwalk, etc that evolves with every new realease Look in contrib/servers then. People submit them. > I ask where does it all lead and to what purpose? A stable _base_ to build on.
