Re: Fact VS Opinion

I chuckled when I read this, I have to admit. The idea that the style of play you favor is a "threat" to anyone shows a great degree of naivete over what drives people to play MUDs or online games in general.

Generally, it isn't roleplaying. What you call roleplaying serves to attract a very small niche of players to a particular game and drives most other people away. The only threat it poses is to a MUD that adopts that style of play in the hopes of attracting large numbers of players, as that very style of play ensures most people will have no interest in the MUD.
