I didn't say anything about entertaining. I was just commenting that
realism is not the goal. If it was, there'd be no need to play in a
"non-real" virtual world. (Note that I believe the virtual world is
just as real as anything else, but I don't think he meant real in the
sense that I do when I say that.)

Well, it's more entertaining them there being no monsters if the
purpose of the game is bashing monsters. It is probably less
entertaining then going about producing monsters in another way.

Hmm. I disagree I guess. When I'm in a text world and have gotten used
to the way a world works, and if it continues working in that manner,
then the way in which it behaves becomes my reality when I'm there
(I've never actually experienced that depth of feeling with a
graphical mud). How many of you wonder if you'd notice if your house
was on fire when you're really enveloped in playing a MUD (graphical
or text. My preference just happens to be text.)? You _are_ in that
world, at least in my opinion. There's no 'virtual' about it to me if
virtual is being used to describe something less than real.

But why is exploiting the software and optimizing gameplay not
reality? If I found out that I could magically produce a bunch of
money in real life by picking up and putting down $20 bills over and
over again, you bet your ass I'd do it.
Listen, my explicit goal in my life is to enjoy myself as much as
possible. To do this, I am trying to optimize the way I play the game
of life in order to achieve this goal as efficiently as possible. If I
could 'cheat' I'd do it in a second. Does that make the way I play
life somehow less valid? I don't think so. I am created this way, and
placed in this world. I am after pleasure because pleasure is an
axiomatic good (not using good in the moral sense. It's simply what I
believe human beings are always pursuing, conciously or not. Even
Buddhism or Epicureanism's ataraxia fall under what I think of as
pleasure.) Pleasure has been defined by reality as being good for me.
Likewise, the rules of the sub-reality of Everquest dictate that
having a high level and lots of money is good. So there should be no
surprise if people try to play as efficiently as possible.
Now, granted, Everquest is, as I said, a sub-reality, and so does not
escape the prime directive of pleasure. It may be _illogical_ to play
Everquest as efficiently as possible to get a high level and gold,
because that is probably not the way in which you're going to achieve
maximum pleasure, but it's certainly completely understandable, and
taken in the context of Everquest alone, does not differ from the way
in which people behave outside of Everquest.

If you wanted to call them that, you could, sure. I think it
understates the level of participation of the visitors or guests, but
I think that's mainly a semantical argument.

I try to refer to them as worlds more than games. Further, why would
you want to shove the fact that they don't own the MUD in their faces?
That just seems counter-productive to me.

Yep, a worthy goal. Not my kind of thing, but obviously it's for a lot
of people. I was at Disneyland last week. It's a reasonably large
place. Cost a lot of money to build, etc etc. I couldn't spend more
than 1 day there though, and won't have any desire to go back again
for another 5 years or so I'm sure. When I played MUDs obsessively, I
enjoyed playing them almost every day, and a lot. To each his own!

Check out www.neopets.com. It is more or less what you're talking
about. You adopt pets whom you have to take on adventures, explore
with, etc. The distinction between you and the pet (character) is very
clear and the handful of people I know who play it a lot don't seem to
feel any sense of ownership, and haevn't taken to trying to figure out
how things work (I've mentioned Neopets before. Really, check it
out. It is very impressive when you start realizing how many features
it has. Things like opening your own amusement park for pets and
listing it on a stock exchange, etc.) It can also happily be played
for as long or as little time as you like.

Well, I don't want mine to be a game or an amusement park. I want it
to be a world.

Definitely check out neopets. It is the best casual mud I've seen so
far (and it either doesn't know it's a mud or doesn't call itself a
mud).
