Exactly. Once a game is "finished," it's "done." Meaning, there's no point in keeping it open any more, nothing more can be done with it, time to close shop.

The point of a mud is to make a continuation that never ends. That includes code, storyline, character development. If it ends, by definition, it is over.

Unwritten Legends is only in "testing" in the minds of its producers, because the producers have isolated themselves from the rest of the mudding world and don't understand that what their game experiences, is what "gold" (available and no longer in testing) is SUPPOSED to be.

That's one of the many reasons why I stopped playing, years ago. Because the producers refused to accept the reality of the mudding world, which has evolved in spades while their game continued to improve in baby steps all in the name of "testing."
