Re: Are MUDs the clog dancing of online gaming?

I don't disagree with the book vs. movie analogy. I've used it many times before.

I do disagree with the reliance on a UI based on a teletype (). You can still have text, but you don't need to rely on just one window with 10-point courier font, that scrolls. And you don't need to rely just on typing.

BatMud's UI () is a step in the right direction. But it's a relatively small step, scary looking to new players (see my previous comment), and it only works with bat mud.
