                  I don't recall that being used in the marketing, but it's entirely
                  possible it was.
                  
                  The key thing here for me is that ALL muds were actually "massive" --
                  the pro game industry just didn't pay them much attention. Similarly,
                  there were large-scale games on the online services that fit the bill.
