Raph: I am an old-timer to MUDs, although not as old as many others on the list. I date back to the old LP 2.4.5 driver/lib, around 6 or 7 years ago. My memory fails after yesterday, so pardon the inaccuracy. ;) I grew up on 2.4.5 and 3.1.2, then moved to Amylaar back when LPCC cut over. Helped set up a few LP muds over the years, and then disappeared from MUDs for a while. When I recently returned, I found that the MUD world had changed in some ways, and stayed static in others. I find it amazing that some things I would have upgraded years ago still exist in the old form. Now I live in the CDLIB world. Somewhere in there, I believe I did a little MudOS. As for what I like to see, I enjoy seeing any discussion related to game creation/development, be it from a technical, or a sociological level. I tend to find the more abstract theories of societal influence a little more interesting, but that's just my personal preference. Strycher.... -- Benjamin D.
