  There is of course a flip side to this. Several times I've been on a mud
wandering around a new area, reading descriptions, etc, and been
bombarded with irate tells from players telling me to get out of there so
it would "repop".
 
  Some people just don't know that they are preventing the respawning of an
area that another player elsewhere is waiting on, and with the rudeness
some people use when "explaining" this to them, I can't say I always
blame them for "annoying" others.

Cheers,
