I think they failed because they decided to concentrate on mudlib
design issues rather than their original idea of making it a
learning mud.  So they gave off two contradictory ideas.

They also based the mudlib on several very flawed ideas, which
didn't help :) Despite my arguments against it.  No one ever listens
to me :)

Wombles!
