Re: The inevitability of GUIs in text-based mudding

Many players will feel compelled to use a client that supports auto mapping. I don't think it improves their playing experience, it only improves their competitiveness...

Seriously, I am not too clear on how having something draw a map for me is "worse" than having to have a whole bloody binder full of maps, so I know where the hell I am going. One disadvantage of text is, with the exception of playing a long time, it takes rare talent to "remember" where the hell you are, and not get lost in such a world. Its literally like being the guy my brother talked about, who went around the wrong tree while hunting, and couldn't figure out where he was any more.
