Riddle me this
 

I am creating something new, something magical, and I want YOUR input.

The goal:
To create a MUD in the classic style but that feels more real, more interactive, and less empty. Attract players and builders alike live happily ever after...

The plan:
use a well known codebase and rip it a new one...
add a complete sandbox and scripting language allowing for complete scripting and programming inside the mud
make this language easy to use but VERY powerful.
extend the in game editor allowing total customization and ease of use.

Your input:
WHAT KEEPS YOU IN A MUD?
WHAT MAKES YOU WANT TO CONTRIBUTE (build, program, etc)?
ANY OTHER INPUT?

To be honest, this sounds like a MUCK/MUSH with a combat engine installed. O.o

well i want to incorporate some of the advanced building features of a muck but its a mud, as the builders will be building not the players. although i can see allowing limited building , but its not minecraft or the sims, its not second life, its a game, to be played.
