Really? Did you have to do anything "special" to achieve this? Or did you
just start up some MUD server without any fuss whatsoever? What server did
you use? Do some servers have bottlenecks in them which would impede PPP
performance?

Anonymity. That's an interesting notion. I wonder if partial anonymity is
a precondition to the worlds I imagine. Most MUD taboos are about the fear
of your persona being subverted/destroyed. Psychically, people really hate
it when you screw with their sense of self. But no persona, no fear?
