In my experience, MUSHes try to tell a story and that's it. They don't support any code enhancements beyond a few minor things here and there. They don't support actual combat code, or anything that affects the characters, it's just a huge chat room and when there isn't any "roleplay" going on, they just idle where you can't find them so people don't stay in-character at all times either. I've found the RP on Mushes to be fairly stagnant as well because they only roleplay when everybody gets together in big groups. Solo-RP is nonexistent and you can't really effect the game world because like I said before, nothing is coded. No skills or anything.
