Re: What are the differences between a MUD and a MUSH?
I never necessarily stated this. You can get roleplay in a chat room. Whether it's good or not is up to those participating in the roleplay, but a the same time you don't have the proper tools to level the playing field. People can unrealistically do things, and generally speaking, (no offense to those who RP in chat rooms), any roleplay you DO find in a chat room is going to be shallow.
I found the same to be true at MUSHes. I consider the roleplay that occurs shallow because you don't have the proper tools to help you make decisions in-character. The tools you do have breed metagaming habits. Just my opinion of course which you obviously disagree with.
