Ideally, defending it is the whole point of having a castle.  If you don't
want to defend it, then you don't want one.

Of course.  Yet I wonder, Matt, do you purposely design your world so that a
majority of players want X and yet the route to achieve it is so incredibly
un-fun that they are willing to simply PAY some other player so they can
skip it?

I never got the impression that your MUD involved a lot of mindless camping.
Holding out on us?
