And if you scroll past the D&D links here, he's got a whole series of stories from his time on the Shadowdale MUD though I forget if they involve any scripting. https://www.reddit.com/r/patches765/comments/5isji2/intelligent_gaming_index/ https://www.reddit.com/r/patches765/comments/5isji2/intellig...

> There was several courses I had to complete to "graduate". Each of these were run by a real player who took their job WAY too seriously. I found this kind of things very fascinating. Isn't immersion the ultimate goal of MMO games? Don't the designers want to create a full virtual world so that people can join and forget about real life for a couple of hours? In that perspective, maybe having terrefic graphics actually hurts the real objective. I'm not saying we should go back to MUD, but I'm saying that MMO development teams should invest more in world building. Thank you for introducing such a great poster to me. This guy is a gold mine.
