And rather useless, from the experience of the people who ran it

Well, okay, so I put my foot into my mouth. I wanted to make a point
that MOOs vary a lot, not that LPs don't.

Incidentally, I'll take a look at BatMUD - although from the first

(but I heard too many good things about it to resist taking a closer
look :) )
