Unless, of course, you hire german sailors.
They seem to thrive on the stuff
More topic related... The original poster seemed to equate mud gameplay
with the typical old style combat (diku)mud. From that point of view it
is indeed not necessarily productive to have greater 'realism' in a mud
unless handled well. Games however increasingly seem to move into the
direction of shared realities rather than automated D&D games. Shared
worlds require a far greater degree of realism (both consistency and in
feature richness) than combat games, so the greater attention for rea-
lism seems reasonable to me.
