Re: Are MUDs the clog dancing of online gaming?

What is the fascination with Java anyway? As you say, it may not be installed, it may be the wrong version, etc. And, its too C like for my tastes. Too much syntax that barely human readable, and then only if you know what it means in the first place. Its not exactly noob friendly, and its rather unlikely that anyone is going to write a Java client, then use Lua, for example, as its internal "scripting" system. So, if you want to write plugins, you are stuck learning a language that isn't that friendly to start with.
