Re: What are the differences between a MUD and a MUSH?
One feature of some MUDs that can have a bearing on how new players are treated are warfare or faction conflict systems. On such games new players can be a valuable resource within the ongoing faction conflict, rather than simply an interruption or annoyance. This doesn't speak to the quality of the roleplay or interaction of course, but there is a definite incentive there for other players to take the time to help those new to the game.
