I am thankful to Diku and it's derivatives for many important lessons in life. The situation when a mob kills you, takes your exp and all your equipment and you are faced with dire reality of starting all over again from nothing - is the one that we are facing in life ever so often. MUDs have taught me to persevere, focus on what is important and keep going. I am thankful for every friend I met via MUD and every friend I will make. As a matter of a fact I am in the middle of MUD renaissance right now - rebuilding the MUD I created in 1995 and playing it with a handful of buddies - all of us now in our forties and we are having the time of our lives chasing down mobs and magic items (and of course playing only after the kids go to sleep). On top of that I get to code in C again. Life is good. Wish the best of luck to DikuMUD 3.
