Before my coming to Avalon and durring my stay here I have played probably every

pitiful code based MUD on the face of this earth. ROM, LP, Diku, Circle and all the

others. And if there is one conclusion I have come too is that people who

can spend their days playing these so-called games must be completely brain dead.

I can understand why a newbie that has spent time in all these other MUDs would

veiw PK'ing and Mob killing(more slang for CCC's) as just more crap. You will

know what I am talking about if you have checked any of these out. They are usually

all the same, within one code base most MUD's will have the same guilds, cities, skills,

Mobs, and most of the same areas with a few exceptions, many of them don't even have

PK'ing. If you really want an idea of why people may express this veiw. Go check out

some of these 'games' and make your own judgements. I've even been a builder/imm(even

more slang for ya) in some of these. If you take the time to look at one or more

of the MUD's out there you will truely see how lucky we are.

Wizard Marik, who wonders how this discussion got started on the 'Fighters board' *shrug*

PS For those of you who want to know where to find a few of these, ask or msg me.
