personally, I find it more fun to be number-less but having vivid descriptions of what is hapenning to us and the enemy in combat, the thing that we have to use numbers and calculations in AD&D and other role-related games of pen and paper is because we dont have any other way of making calculations that involve various possibilities. In MUDs, we have the advantage that the calculations are done by a computer, so we can concentrate on making the environment more real. I think that the disadvadtange of the "text" interface (lack of someone telling you that personally) can be overcomed if you make battles more real and less "24-8=16hp"
cordially yours:
