I'll bite. I don't see how roleplay could be anti-immersive. Please explain this to me.
I stand by what I said, though. I mean, ####. People cry sellout if a band that has underground popularity releases a radio-friendly single, or if a professional athlete changes teams. In that context I could easily see someone saying it for a MUD administrator going from a type of game that is, by definition, zealous about any perceived breach of RP to a type of game where all manner of breaches of RP wouldn't be a big deal to the admins.
My guess is the guy's interested in creating things for MUDs that seem cool/fun to him and the RP factor not being so huge to him personally, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of SoI's players didn't see it that way.
Regardless, I suspect that despite any manner of name calling, this will go well for Traithe.
