I haven't heard of the term "splitting objects" either. Nevertheless
I willingly accept ANY terminology as long as we are able to share
conceptual understanding. This sounds like a specific task of
iterative design or development that I have done often. I have no
terminology for it though.
I might suggest that major restructuring can be avoided through
intensive OO design work ahead of time. And this depends on how
much time you've invested into your mud's specifications.
I'm a big proponent of an 80/20 rule in effort in Analysis/Design as
opposed to coding. It takes a bit of patience to spec' a brainstorm
rather than immediately code it.

Surely. And this can be automated in a persistent system. It may
well be an expensive process. But one must remember this is a
development process. I do not see this activity as occuring very
often in a live and running mud. You may well have significant
concerns with a highly active user-base in a commercial environment.
This wouldn't be a major concern in my environment.

I wouldn't flame you over this. :)

Hmm, it may be more productive to use OOP or OOPL when discussing
implementation concerns and OO, OOA, or OOD when discussing
conceptual concerns. At least I think(?) many OOers on the list may
concur with this.

Sure. I can't comment on what LPMuds are doing. But many of us are
doing "disk-based" systems and I think we all recognize the value of
cheap memory. I am using a configurable cache which can use all
available memory if I desire. I am also taking advantage of
multi-threading especially in the area of network and disk I/O. You
mentioned in another post the ease of editting flat textual
information. I think the editting information in "popular" database
formats can even be more convenient or productive. That depends on
your toolset to a good degree.

Transaction based recovery and restart. Look to database theory for
solutions here.
