Re: Are MUDs the clog dancing of online gaming?
Bad analogy. In the era of IE dominance, however IE did things was the standard for all practical purposes. Everything else was just a circle-jerk the rest of the browserfolk threw together so at least they wouldn't be fighting each other so much as they tried to eat into IE's 95%+ market share. Microsoft had everything to lose and nothing to gain by following the standards that the losing players in the market created without consulting them.
There isn't really an IE of the MUD world, unless you consider WoW to be it, in which case everyone else should start implementing their UI.
