A few suggestions from someone who was/is in the same place as you:
Do research on other MUDs - there are a lot of good ideas out there, and some have better ways to code a cat than Diku does.
Remove all your old code, IE: your diku code, your research code, etc. If you like a VERY specific implementation of an approach to a problem, printout the very NARROW scope out prior to deleting all the old code. There's nothing wrong with having research around for specific problems - just don't have whole chuncks of code for temptations sake.
Once you get a portion/problem coded, reread it and see if there is a better way to accomplish the goal. While I haven't done this near as much as I would have wanted myself, when I did do it, I usually learned a better way.
