Newworlds, that's true, penetration is also an issue. MUDding is, IMO, an 'almost' dead genre. I am not saying this to belittle MUDs -- I just spent the last 6 hours in one, in fact. But from the perspective of someone who avidly plays other online games as well, MUDs really are a 'cultivated taste' of sorts. Tell anyone 'MMORPG', 'FPS' or 'RTS', and most people with even basic knowledge of games will know what it is. Tell someone 'MUD', and they're like, huh?

How did you write your character's desc?
