This is the dumbest rant I've ever seen. Who cares?

Personally, I dislike color in my mudding. I play Armageddon, so it all works out well. I have a few things custom-colored, Magick, certain game echos, certain names of skary beasts, things like that. Trust me, at Armageddon the lack of color is definately not a result of a trend in the Mudding community, or because of lazy Immortals.


Color doesn't bother me, but if you're relying on fabulous color schemes to make your mud work, you're setting yourself up for failure. I would never play a mud that forced color on me, simply because it seems like some muds rely on color to bring their world to life, rather than well-written rooms and NPC's. I would personally rather get a feel for that ocean zone by the imagery of salt-spray, gull-calls, and swell of the waves, rather than relying on a cheezy shade of blue to do my work for me.
