Hard-core: PK, real death, limited multi-play, player-enforced
roleplay, etc.

The only reason I mentioned 'hard-core' was because I feel that
players of a mud of this type attracts hard-core players who tend to
get more immersed, more attached to their characters, etc., and
perhaps are more likely to take things too far.
