Re: MMO Excuses?

Someone else posted on that thread and whilst I won't quote the whole thing cause it's basically an essay, I found this bit interesting:

I find it interesting because it's one of the biggest differences I can see between a MUD and a MMO. On many MUDs I've played, the entire system has changed over the years because they re-did or drastically improved the underlying code. With most MMOs I've played, however, all they tend to do after release is exactly what that quote illustrates.

If you're interested in reading his entire rant (WARNING: Long!) then . If you have the patience then take a look, I found it fascinating even if I didn't completely agree with some of his points.
