I really prefer skill-based muds myself, especially for roleplaying. Now,
hack & slash muds probably need the sense of reward you get from gaining a
level. But, if you don't want that effect, having levels is going to give
it to you anyway. Solution: remove levels. We have done this on Morgaelin
and it worked out well.
