Which is strange with a commercial game. I'd think that it would be
possible to design a way to financially compensate players who turn
former hack/social MUD into immersive roleplaying experience (MUSHers
do it for free... ;) ) - in the form of free hours, for instance.
Of course, the challenge is to do it in the way that'd be fair to all
the players.
