Note that some care is required when trying to 'define' roll and role
players. While it's fair to regard them as different types of player, you
inevitably have your 'half-breeds'. I enjoy rollplaying a great deal - but
role-play properly from time to time. As someone commented those, the
latter (henceforth RP, given that Rollplay will be RlP), is actually much
harder, and much more involved. It also seems that RP environments put
much more weight on the player, and can be quite stressful. I play muds
for the social experience as much as anything, and find the atmospheres
better on RlP styled muds (I still regard this as different to the
mindless hack'n'slash of stock Diku).

This is the sort of thing I expect from a stock diku etc - depending how
you define RlP, more detail is probably warranted.

Yeah. This is the sort of thing I'm aiming at myself, although the mud is
basically RlP. I don't care if players want to RP in depth or not, but I
would prefer for 'in character (IC)' actions to prevail, in this sense,
basically those that fit in - thieves stealing, and such forth.

I do agree with the overall sentiment though. The game is also a lot more
fun if theres more to it than running about finding what to hit next,
unless you have really really mindless players.
