Re: Mud Suggestion

I think there'd be a small... no, a rather large... problem with trademark and copyright issues. Considering that EveOnline is a online multi-player game, they'd likely see any mud, including a free mud, as direct competition. You'd be better off trying to rip off the game design because that's much harder to copyright and defend, but ripping off the EveOnline world would probably result in an injunction assuming that the game has any success.

I'm pretty down on the idea of people ripping off other people's worlds anyway unless they have the original trademark/copyright holder's express permission.
