So what would be people's thoughts about having changeable color enabled on the mud.
I assume the function must be there, as IMMs can use it for titles, and for echo's etc.
An MUD i won't name that has a very similar code-history to this (although they've ended up in very different directions - FL FTW!) which I used to play had color fully enabled, with rules in place against any abuse, although tbh I don't really know how abusable it is?
I think it would be just one way to make the mud more interesting, without effecting any PK balances, or needing to be tested and tweaked etc.. and makes the mud more interesting especially to new players who may leave before they get a chance to get involved in any cool 50 RP.
and makes the mud more interesting especially to new players who may leave before they get a chance to get involved in any cool 50 RP.
'Psh. I have never been involved in any rp at 50. Actually. I've never been to 50... And I'm still here, after all these years.
No color.
When I was a noob I asked this question to Crypt once..
Shadowspawn tells you, "Because this isn't some bright pink fairy mud." (something to that affect)
Im telling you EL, no matter how bright, shiny, and seisure inducing your prompt is. Your still gonna lose 
I think, many, many years ago when I first started mudding on AR, i asked Wolfgar about colour in the MUD. Funny thing, Mudder, he said something similar, about the MUD not being a San Fran Bath House....
Please, someone tell me they get the joke I put in there.
a-g
The Parallels of AR and FL?
Or the bath house. Being an actual area in FL, where the whole place is covered in sh*t?
