It dawned on me recently as I was back to back with my angel and fighting a horde of townspeople...
Every single person over the level of one in a MUD is a psychopathic killer!! I mean we mass murder into the thousands to reach our goals. In the nature of roleplay, how do we look to the denizen of the MUD. Ooooh, you say they are only mobs right...
So if I walked down the street and started offing people, can I tell the authorities that I was only killing mobs to advance myself? I would think not. I mean Paladins, Knights, Clerics, run through mobs and guards and "GOOD" "people" in a MUD like they were soup, finger food even.
I suppose my point is that I understand how apathy can grow at a MUD, I mean you start off releasing all morals and diving into a decadent society of killers and thieves, and you smile while doing it. There has to be a better way to gain experience...
