I've been brainstorming once again, and I think a MUD codebase could be used to create a very good single-player game. It would be similar to the Adventure-type games that came out long ago, but possibly more familiar to some of us. Besides that, there could still be multiplayer, only much more focused on group play, where a single group plays longer than a few minutes to level, similar I think to Baldur's Gate or Diablo.

There would have to be a path for the player to optionally follow, of course, but I think you could make many more things for the player to do. Most codebases have some sort of MProgs implimented, and it's much more easy to build in a MUD enviroment, IMO, because you can get more involved in the world than the person who slowly places that pond, some trees, a road from here to there, a few monsters to combat the player's boredom and call it an area.

I think I could enjoy playing a single-player MUD. What does everyone else think?
