Re: Muds based on novels
I remember when the rights were acquired by IRE. Before WoW, before online RPGs (MMOs) were considered more mainstream. I don't know if IRE has relicensing or resale rights (and don't expect them to tell us), but as an investment, it was a genius move.
As a game, I was surprised to see it become a MUD rather than using the Earth Eternal technology to make it a more mainstream game. Not a criticism, and I'm sure there were extensive discussions within IRE/Sparkplay on exactly this subject, just something that surprised me.
