I would not agree that it is okay to use zones based on any author's work, that has not given permission to use it.

Actually we have "halfers" (small in size but other than that not much common with hobbits) and "Drazeki" elves (dark elves) that live in our "blackwoods". Not at all similar to drows.

Well anyways what i mean is that there is a large difference with creating your own theme and "borrowing" ideas from other themes, than to totally rip off some author and create your whole game off their work even naming your game with their trademarks.

It is easy to see which games are using "trademark" or "copyrighted" material without permission, and in my opinion such muds should be banned from the mud community pages as well as any muds violating mud licenses...
