Yes. Often with extra powers though. But usually even then it is no problem. It gets a problem when IC roleplay conflicts with overall game changes though - you can't be admin AND partake in game play with a character at the same time (on the same level that is. I exclude unique IC events that drive the storyline forward)

Also, admin MUST play regularly every now and then, otherwise they WILL lose touch with what is going on.

I've seen the latter happen too often. Admin is so clueless that it is then doing the wrong decisions.

I cant speak for Admin but it would depend.

If I want to drive the story forward, then I would create a character to do so, and eventually pass the story on to the players, leaving it into their hands what they do with it.

If I would create a MUD, I would however not actively play in it. Being admin would be too much work already (I would regularly playtest it though)
