Wow, Eagleon...that was quite a gushing defense of mudding in general.
I'm not attacking muds as a genre. I enjoy muds. I understand that there are difficulties with muds. I did not defend botting in my OP, I'm not quite sure where you got that from... I did not suggest that muds have NO rules, just that they don't have silly rules like I described.
In all ways, muds are spurring MMORPG's on. It is very obvious when playing SWG , for instance, that it is based on an idea that started with muds. It even has a DIKU command option. What I was trying to say is that muds should adapt and compete with MMORPG's at the same time.
I don't accept your statement that muds are not state of the art. Except for graphics, muds should be able to have better gameplay than MMORPG's because there are no limits to what you can describe with text. Spazmatic kind of touched on this idea with his defense of GS3.
