Up until the birth of my daughter I tried at least one new mud every year. I've played everything from MUSH's with no PK or combat to speak of to Pure PK Godwars style muds. I've played MUDs with no classes, and MUDs with no levels. I'll be honest, in most of those I was competitive (whatever that means on a MUSH) within a shorter time then I spend on the my average CF character (~300 hours for something that doesn't delete under 100 hours).

My other post was doing no such thing. While I may not know everything there is to know in CF, the amount of stuff posted to that site I didn't already know is fairly small and generally stuff I don't know because I've never been interested in finding out (K'tengs quest), but I have also often been frustrated with the easter egg hunt or syntax search that is CF. Hell, I dropped 3 con a character I meant to play out in the new prison area explore for sub-35 because I couldn't figure out that 1234 and not 1 2 3 4 was the right answer. That isn't fun for me. Even compilers give better syntax help than that.
