Hehe.  I've never played Achaea, but I would have bet that it and
probably other text MUDs had covered much of this ground...which was
why I only indicted current MMORPGs and those that are in
development.

I know this list has hashed over whether or not MMORPGs are
significantly different to MUDs.  As I recall, most of the
differences discussed had to do with scale.  Do you think the way
you handle player-run cities in Achaea would scale well to an
MMORPG?  Personally, I don't see any reason it wouldn't.
