        But if you disagree, could you provide some evidence as to why they
        are more advanced? I can tell you why Kasparov is a more advanced
        chess player than I am. Can you tell me why a roleplayer is a more
        advanced game player than a non-roleplayer, without resorting to
        subjective value judgements?

        If human communication is the pinnacle of game playing, then I'd say
        that roleplaying is less advanced than people who talk to each other
        out of character. They are communicating more relevant information
        that way, and being more 'honest' about it.

        How about "better gameplay?" People haven't gotten tired of chess,
        because its gameplay is so good.

        I consider it more of a boutique approach. Less customers, but more
        money per customer. (WAY less customers).

        No one is saying you didn't have crafting. He's saying it is far
        more widespread in big graphical MUDs than in text MUDs, and on a
        percentage basis, he's right. Most of them have it. Most text MUDs
        do not.
