Re: In defense of all MUDs. Our genre's noteworthiness is being questioned.
Thats a fair point, it is basically two terms that mean the same thing.. its not a link between that is required. MUD's just retains a legacy acronym. Yeah Its catchy, but it is breaking off from the popular whole.
Maybe MUD's need to coin the phrase TMMO, TMORPG etc.
I often refer to my new MUD in forums during discussions as a Text based MORPG, doesnt scare people as much, and youngsters who may have no idea what a MUD is know exactly what I am talking about.
