I should have said "could". NPCs are not as complex as they could be.
I believe that really complex NPCs or bots will not be mud resident.
They will be some variation of julia/colins. In fact at least one MOO
NPC is a modfied colin and there have been a few other colins sprinkled
around some other muds. Unfortunately I got some of the MOO colins going
by making available my version called madborg. It wasn't until
I tried to interface madborg to a database server that I realized
he had a fatal flaw.
The complex NPCs I have in mind are the future ones that will
be made up of NLP, FSMs, expert systems, and even
neural nets. Or maybe just plenty of ordinary coding.
