Re: What are the differences between a MUD and a MUSH?

He probably wandered around looking for mobs to kill, found none, -50 points. Then wandered around trying to look for people without 'where' and without bothering to 'tell' someone to ask if they'd like to RP (because it's not IC and we must be IC at all times othwerwise we're not playing an RPG, duuhh! :rolls eyes. Couldn't find anyone and concluded that there was NO (as opposed to little) RP to be found.

This would be swell! It doesn't matter if they don't know how to use the complex targetting system; it took me a while to learn that on several MUDs as well. But surely one can still input detail without it?

I agree with this. In addition to the code-based thing, I too feel that this is a major difference between the average MUD and MUSH. I love the focus on storytelling that MUSHes have; I just wish people would come out in the open more (like in MUDs) instead of hiding around waiting for tells. I do understand that that is part of MUSH culture, but it's nice to dream!
