Discworld has stopped at 200 for a couple of reasons, the biggest
one being bandwidth limits.  We are using DSL but 200 is the most
players it will handle unless we upgrade the link or put it
somewhere with onsite hosting.  Both of these options are expensive
and since the mud is free...  Not really viable.

Wombles!
