To be quite certian, an RPI MUD or an RPE MUD is a mud which caters to those who desire strictly IC play. It is designed for those who do not wish the outside world (or, real life, as it is sometimes called) to interfer with their excursion into a fantasy world.
Those who do not wish to be involved in this depth of play should not play an RPI or RPE MUD. And ideally, RPI and RPE and RPM should mean the exact same thing. That they do not is why the MUD that I play takes care not to call itself RPE or RPM, but rather, RPI.
Whoever said, "Different strokes for different folks," was very wise.
