I've played plenty of MUDs in which you have to carry a torch around at night, but in some of them the torches are a bit of a nuisance. That's what I meant by implementing them in a simple way.

For instance: automatic torches. Torches that you buy and when you go out at night, they automatically light up without you having to go through a complicated system of commands in order to hold them, get out a tinderbox, lighting them, dousing them before going inside, etc. This would probably hurt some of the Role-playing intensive aspects, but in my mind it would be for the better.

I'm actually pretty sure there's MUDs out there that have done this, but I haven't seen many.
