Right below you say Code and Areas are Features and Content. Right above you say We only need new content. Get your own definitions straight before you jump on mine.

>>>Code and Areas are Features and
>>>Content. This is going to be a recurring theme in this flame.

I have put a lot of time into CF.

>I think the implication is that you do not enjoy 'working' on
>CF, right?

I don't HAVE to work at CF. I choose to. My personal mantra with regards to CF and Work is that if CF ever becomes worse than my real-life job, I'll quit CF. It's been really close at times. CF is not a job to me. It's a hobby. When you get to the point that I'm at, it is however much more administrative, which is a lot like a job, and is something I don't enjoy. I focus on what I enjoy (coming up with new ideas, solving problems, coding those ideas/solutions).

>I seriously LIKE the immortals. I'm trying to
>point out that maybe you don't HAVE to work at CF.

There are parts where you DO have to work at CF (Enforcing rules both mortal and immortal, promotions within the immortal staff, fixing bugs, etc). There are many that you don't.

>I'm trying to make your life easier? Why .. would you argue against me?

You're trying to make my life easier without having ever walked in my footstpes, or even knowing what I do here. You honestly don't have an informed opinion on the matter, you just have an opinion based on inaccuracies.

>That's why I like muds. But why is it all or nothing?

How many people still play the first Everquest? I'd guess it's far less than at it's peak. They moved on to a newer version with new features & content.

>Why wouldn't quests and immteraction keep the mud fresh?

Not everyone is involved in quests or immteraction. How would that keep it fresh for everyone else?

>Why wouldn't player RP keep the mud fresh?

It doesn't now. I don't see that changing. The players may prove me wrong, but based on 15 years of mudding, I'll stick with my gut on this one.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
