Re: Why I Left Your MUD- A Newbie's Persepctive

Given what a MUD is, and what an "IP" is, and the rules around "stealing" them, I have to call you on this one. There's little wrong with going and taking an existing world and making a free-to-play, non-commercial, non-profit environment for the fans of those worlds, unless the owner of the IP explicitly seems to have a problem with it. While I tend to prefer original worlds, being a fan of Wheel of Time and Star Wars I've played multiple MUDs with that theme and enjoyed myself quite a bit amongst a community that shared the same love of the wonderful creations of their owners. And again, there are protected rights into creating what is, in general and in essence, fanfiction.
