A lot of people in the world don't like change. Whether those
people are the types that play MUDs, I'm not entirely sure of. But
judging by MOG forums where people gripe about the latest nerf or
new feature, I'd say we still got a good sizable representation of
that world populace.
So, having the system arbitrarily reset and rearrange itself without
any overall change in content just compounds the problem. The only
people who ever like such systems are the poor peasants in the
fields with nothing to lose. But even them, after a short while,
become disgruntled and entrenched in their new positions.
