&gt; &gt;Removing resets leads towards a mud ecology, as far as killing
&gt; &gt;monsters is concerned.  But if quests do not reset, it means that you
&gt; &gt;can only do them once.  But that implies that a quest can only be
&gt; &gt;solved by a single person, unless each solved quest forks off a new
&gt; &gt;alternate universe: one in which this particular player has solved
&gt; &gt;the quest.
&gt;
&gt; Not true.  This was discussed recently in the recet-less game thread
&gt; that AlexO started.  Many systems were postulated to create quests
&gt; that regenerated, yet were not constant or predictable.  

What I wrote was carelessly worded.  I meant to introduce the idea of
creating parallel universes as an alternative to those systems, which
I described as "ecologies".  For my own mud, I use both.


&gt;[...]
&gt; Nathan does much along this line.

So I learned.  I can only applaud his good ideas. :)
