Re: Player-Based MUDs?

Every mud owner that reads these forums is going to reply to you saying that their mud is the living, breathing embodiment of this feature you request, so I won't waste your time tossing out the usual list that replies to every thread insisting you try their mud, but no mud actually has nor emphasizes fully player-created or player-run content. Nor does anybody really want such a mud (people will say they do, but they don't really), because unregulated players make things less fun for other players, and every mud owner has a vision for his/her mud that they're not going to let some player or group of players deviate from just for the sake of making things player-controlled.

But nearly all of the roleplay-required muds in the top 20 allow some player-created content, to some extent. They want you to create your own detailed character with a detailed backstory, make the game interesting by interacting with other players and coming up with interesting things to do, forming groups (whether supported by the game code or ad-hoc), and influencing the game's politics and economy in various ways, just like you want. But very few muds are going to let you execute your own ideas, entirely unreguated, nor code or build anything to support your ideas.
