I'm not sure I agree that there aren't many muds on i3.
You can look at a list of muds connected to the i3 router
I run on this url:
Sometimes it is less, sometimes more, and I'm not the only
person that runs a router. I imagine imc2 is comparable.
You'll also note that the majority of muds on i3 are LP muds.
This is mostly for historical reasons of like-minded developers
clustering together. There is nothing in the spec that favors
a particular kind of mud, and indeed, Diku derivatives show up
using Samson's i3 client.
Since I can't compare the two types of intermud, I'll just
describe i3 as being fairly chaotic and profane. On my router I
designate some channels that are protected from total
anarchy (see for details).
On the protected channels, I strictly forbid stuff like hate
speech, social engineering hacks, unwarranted newb bashing,
etc. But because i3 is a pretty open network, anyone can show
up and make trouble before I can try to reason with them, so
there's always a chance your screen will get ugly stuff.
That's the theory. In practice, i3 is roughly comparable to
mudconnector in terms of atmosphere, but without the profanity filters.
Some people are nice, some people are mean, sometimes it's
boring, sometimes it's lively...it's just a community, like
any other.
Does that help?
