But >why "things in the distance" and not "things of no current interest"? Problem: "Ooo! That object is show with a high detail level: there must be something interesting about it that will help me in the game." and variations. The other big problem is that "interest" is defined by intent, and intent is a really dicey thing to have a game attempt to determine (tho I'm going to try it). -- J C Lawrence Internet: claw#null,net ----------(*) Internet: coder#ibm,net ...Honourary Member of Clan McFud -- Teamer's Avenging Monolith... </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00266" HREF="msg00266.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> "Brandon J.
