Adam's basic assumption is wrong. You do not go to the mud to work. You
go there to talk to people, create things and maybe look around. It is
much more like going to a cafe than going to work.
E.g. the tailor scenario that is named after me. There the tailor (me)
wants to design clothing, descriptions, equipment, for other players.
Because it gives the chance to talk to others, and to make a change to
the mud that is lasting.
It is the same reason why many people on a mud want to build, if only
their own house. And why there are many people who like to explore more
than they like to kill things. It is even the reason of existence for
IRC.
