Achaea was my dream MUD actually, and until June of this year, was my baby. I don't have the time to do much direct work on individual MUDs these days though. I'm working on the meta-design for Midkemia Online, and then will hand it over to the lead designer.
Well, I can't say that I personally love (as a player) any of our MUDs but Achaea, as I haven't spent a ton of time playing any of them and was lead designer on only Achaea. Virtually every player of Aetolia, Imperian, and Lusternia knows more about those games than I do, except at an administrative level of course.
It's not about whether I like a MUD or not though. I'm not the customer, nor is anyone else at Iron Realms. We're concerned with the desires of potential players as players make the virtual world go round.
Actually, Iron Realms has teamed up with the series of typing tutorials and we will be creating extra-long commands to give people everywhere more practice at typing. No longer will your typing education be hampered by the convenience of just typing "l" for "look" for instance. In this brave new world of edutainment text MUDs, you will have the opportunity to type, "lookatwhatishere" instead! And remember how you might just type an apostrophe for 'say'? No more will the fascist apostrophe insert its vile self into your dreams, for in Midkemia Online you will have the great privilege of typing "expressmyselfplease" instead of "say" or a simple apostrophe.
As you can see, MO is really going to be the sort of virtual world that stands up and says, "I teach typing!!"
