I am an author of a commercial mud package that
is currently running on AOL. We are testing the waters
to see if the general computer public might be interested
in a "shrink wrapped" mud development kit. It would
come with: the engine running under Windows 95/98/NT/2000
and Linux, a set of visual development tools allowing you to
easily create areas, a set of beginning areas to learn from or
reuse, a complete manual outlining how to create areas and
run the mud itself, a license allowing you to run the mud without
restrictions (you can charge for it, we don't care).

We would create an online community where people could share
development tips and files etc. and develop updates to the engine
and the development tools themselves.

We'd put it all together in a box and sell it for the price of
a normal PC game (40-50 dollars).

Ideas? thoughts? Feedback? Do you think this would draw more
people into the hobby? Allow people not as technical to develop
and run their own mud?
