AddictMUD uses mySQL extensivly to store information. The playerfile, skills,
clan info, help, etc, etc... just about the only things we don't store in
mySQL is the world, aliases and rent. It's very nice to have the information
stored in an easy to edit database. If I add a new field to the player
structure, a quick alter table is the only player file converting that needs
to be done :)
Speed has never been an issue. I've been very careful about how I convert
things to mySQL, testing for speed, etc... we used to run on a p100 until
recently, just to give you an idea about how little CPU overhead it'll require.
(we just replaced that p100 with a nice 400mhz machine, so I may test
converting rent soon).
