I apologize, as now I realise that I used the wrong word above. In hindsight, it should have read "Character persistence across -sessions-..." rather than 'games'. The idea is to show that you can stop playing, and come back to that point at a later time or date. Again, there are many games we don't consider muds that have this facility, but there are few that we -do- consider muds that don't :) Kylotan. </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="01324" HREF="msg01324.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Ugh, IS Diablo a mud?</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> Jon Leonard <jleonard#divcom,slimy.com></li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01278.html">[MUD-Dev] EC Habitats Beta Program URL...</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01280.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Unix is a mud (Re: Ugh, IS Diablo a mud?)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01274.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Ugh, IS Diablo a mud?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01324.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Ugh, IS Diablo a mud?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#01279"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#01279"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>[MUD-Dev] Re: Ugh, IS Diablo a mud?</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="01244" HREF="msg01244.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Ugh, IS Diablo a mud?</A></strong>, Caliban Tiresias Darklock <a href="mailto:caliban#darklock,com">caliban#darklock,com</a>, Sat 26 Sep 1998, 02:54 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01246" HREF="msg01246.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Ugh, IS Diablo a mud?</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,engr.sgi.com">claw#under,engr.sgi.com</a>, Sat 26 Sep 1998, 03:15 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </ul> <LI><strong><A NAME="01264" HREF="msg01264.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Ugh, IS Diablo a mud?</A></strong>, Raph & Kristen Koster <a href="mailto:koster#eden,com">koster#eden,com</a>, Sat 26 Sep 1998, 15:28 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01274" HREF="msg01274.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Ugh, IS Diablo a mud?</A></strong>, Koster, Raph <a href="mailto:rkoster#origin,ea.com">rkoster#origin,ea.com</a>, Sat 26 Sep 1998, 20:13 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01279" HREF="msg01279.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Ugh, IS Diablo a mud?</A></strong>, Kylotan <a href="mailto:kylotan#globalnet,co.uk">kylotan#globalnet,co.uk</a>, Sat 26 Sep 1998, 21:10 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01324" HREF="msg01324.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Ugh, IS Diablo a mud?</A></strong>, Jon Leonard <a href="mailto:jleonard#divcom,slimy.com">jleonard#divcom,slimy.com</a>, Mon 28 Sep 1998, 03:00 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01283" HREF="msg01283.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Ugh, IS Diablo a mud?</A></strong>, Damion Schubert <a href="mailto:zjiria#texas,net">zjiria#texas,net</a>, Sat 26 Sep 1998, 22:08 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01290" HREF="msg01290.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Ugh, IS Diablo a mud?</A></strong>, Damion Schubert <a href="mailto:zjiria#texas,net">zjiria#texas,net</a>, Sat 26 Sep 1998, 23:57 GMT </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01099" HREF="msg01099.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: META: What are you looking for in this list?</A></strong>, S.
