As with most things mud-related, everyone has their own preferences. Some prefer the stick (get punished if you don't roleplay, or roleplay badly - aka "Roleplaying Enforced") while others prefer the carrot (get rewarded for good roleplaying - aka "Roleplaying Encouraged"). Both types of mud appeal to a different audience, and each audience tends to deride the other as being inferior, but at the end of the day they're both 'roleplaying muds'.
