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

No, longer does not necessarily equal better ... but I really would have to say that 90% of MUDders whom I have encountered on MUSHes have made a very poor impression on me in terms of grammar, spelling and ability to portray a well-realized character. Long sequences of short, specific actions do not feel like roleplay to me.

But certainly, the fact that MUSHers write more doesn't mean they are automatically better at it. My impression, however, has always been that MUSHers generally care more about how something is said, as opposed to just getting the action out there. And I would really rather take someone getting a little too creative with their prose than just posing "So and so nods."
