I'm sorry to hear you say we're not a part of the community.  Personally, I have always felt distinctly unwelcome ... as if our success somehow made us dirty.

Which is sad, because I feel that we're all very much alike.  We all want to design entertaining and fun worlds for many people to enjoy.  

There isn't a single GM on my staff that doesn't do what they do because they love the game.  I know that I could certainly make more money doing other things with my time ... but I love gaming.  Specifically, I love text-based gaming.  I don't think that anything else in the world can come close to the all-consuming experience available in a MUD game.

I have to assume that everyone else who builds MUDs feels the same.  So how am I not a member of this community?

Can't we all appreciate the art of our work together?
