in reply to Perlmonks MOO

You're talking more of a MUSH or a MOO vs. a MUD, especially the DikuMUD-derived versions. They're not that hard to build. Heck, it would probably take less than a week to get the basics up and running. The hardest part is the design of the database.

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested
