[MUD-Dev] Re: State of the art?
[Original message sent by Caliban Tiresias Darklock]
|
| It is debatable whether the internal game system itself is relevant. Given
| the general resistance to Race/Class/Level systems these days, is the RCL
| form of character definition and advancement eligible for state of the art?
| Would other people, like myself, feel somehow embarrassed to be part of a
| community that -- if such a system were indeed state of the art -- really
| has never done better than the D&D set released in 1973?
Why bother? Sure, you can try to run a fancy restaurant,
but if all the people want is McDonald's you're soon out
of business. You can set up your own burger franchise,
offer onion rings instead of fries, put a couple of
ethnic dishes on the menu and replace cheddar with
cottage cheese, but what makes you money is still the
same ol' meat patty. :)
