I'm not at all proposing a Smaug derivative. Grendel is not new (it has been in on-and-off dev. for the past 2-3 years). Grendel merely uses some of the internal structures of Smaug, I included them as a starting point. Future development will make sure all traces of Diku/Smaug/Emlen-inspired code are removed and replaced with contemporary technology.
Delphi has a large userbase outside of the MUD community, but you could be very right recruitment within that community could prove difficult. We'll just have to wait and see.
Thank you for your comments.
