: Well perhaps if you don't like MUDs in general, you could say that it would
: suck because of that, but since the MUD has just barely started making
: progress, and you have no idea what it's going to entail, all you are
: doing by saying for a certainty that it will suck is proclaiming to the
: world how closed your mind is, and you're definitely not helping anyone
: create something potentially fun. So if you can't be nice, do the world a
: favor and be silent, please.
Sorry K-Chi, gee that was kinda harsh though, but what I was saying (but didn't have time to elaborate on) was that; well, put it this way, 'Woo! I just got a level up for WSTE-EMS! Now they do double damage for some reason!!'. Alright, you could put skill things like accuracy or dodging ability, but the combat is where it's at, and there are some problems with the idea. Also, what would you use for currency?! And what non-combat activites could even in theory exist? And there wouldn't be enough people in it, so you'd have to make it really small.
I dig the idea of a Marathon MMO, though. Very much. Actually... (*disappears for 6 months fiddling with LinSock*)
I hate people with closed minds too, but perhaps you should think that they didn't get (all of) their message across?
