This stick-up-butt-ness is a real problem for some muds. I don't care how RP-focused a game is supposed to be. Every single mud, like it or not, is a computer game first and a totally immersive fictional world second. If someone is afk, idle, distracted by the real world, or his or her time is limited, it is our place, as courteous human beings, to show common courtsey to our fellow computer game players and work with or around those factors, especially if someone took the time to let us know their situation ahead of time. Why the heck would we even consider telling someone who shares our hobby and our interests, and loves the same game we do, "What do you mean you can only stay on for 30 minutes? Why'd you even bother logging in to such a serious game then?"
