   nods They very well might be, though I never encountered explicit item rarity in my MUDs. Also, they mention being inspired by Ultima Online. Creators of Ultima Online were inspired by MUDs. btw, Magic: the Gathering debuted in 1993.

   I am nodding along, but we can't say we write in assembly for speed, if we don't achieve much of it, can we? Especially if portable C turns out to not actually be slower.
