But how many of those 'millions of players' actually know that your mud is a Diku/Merc with the credits stripped out?
Because every time this discussion came up on usenet in the past, your players would always rant and rave about how it was actually written from scratch...and then, later, after the evidence was presented, there would always be a number of them who would apologise, and state that they were leaving your mud (including at least two of your staff).
So if you think your players really don't care, why not tell them the truth and let them decide for themselves? That way you can prove me wrong for once.
