I find that randomly rolled characters are a bit silly on most MUDs given that there's nothing stopping someone from simply continually re-creating until they get the stats they want. If they don't continually re-create, they risk having hobbled themselves by comparison to other players who did spend the time to re-roll over and over for the best stats they can find.
Far better, I think, to give people a standard set of stats to begin with, or allocate them X points to spend as they wish on stats.
