It's scary when I have to start rethinking my position and start agreeing more and more with KaVir, who quite accurately put it in the beginning of the thread, that this thread serves no value.
The discussion has (yet again) derailed. The original statement was to create a collection of professionally run MUDs, because some players might prefer those games. Fine - list collected. What happens now with the list? Is anybody expecting players to pick a new MUD based on a thread like this or will that MUD list actually be featured somewhere?
Personally I think one can either make a list for potential players that contain professional run MUDs (with the criteria that they have fulltime employees) and argue that as quality, or one can make a list with arbitrary criterias such as "MUDs with DIKU licenses can't be included", "MUDs with names tarting with M can't join" but this list has now mingled up both - Midevia is every bit as professionally run (I'm refering to professional as having full-time staff) as many other games on the list, and the end user is just as likely to receive a favorable gaming experience on it, than from any of the other MUDs. The exclusion of some games, based on their license model or violation, means that the aim of creating a list so that players can pick quality game they like, goes out the window.
