To start off, I am not a coder/programmer one bit.. but I still want to commit and do it, start a mud. I've played muds for quite a few years - and while it was fun at first, the muds always seem to die because the owners have these 'grand' ideas that never got fulfilled.
I don't want that.. I just want to create a simple hack/slash mud.. because honestly, I will never have enough resources to create a graphical game. With that said! I've narrowed down two choices, Murk ++ that's uploaded by Tyche and Ram Fire by Quix/Mudder (and team.) They both look similar to the Rom/Rot style that I'm used to (all time fav muds - Creeping Death/Legends Untold).. but which is the better choice? Because I'm not a coder I cannot really differentiate between the two, any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Ram Fire is just a partial C++ port of the ROM codebase with a bunch of bug fixes. Murk++ is a complete translation of the Merc codebase to C++.
