I'm lost on this one. How exactly does not allowing cross-class help files make the MUD extremely user unfriendly? I doubt very few people are so selective that they won't play a MUD that doesn't allow them to get any kind of help on any class they want -- of course, on the other hand, most people are too lazy to create a new character to get the help files, so they just live with it. In my opinion, though, a basic overview of each class should be availible. Then, they can figure out what each class is *ABOUT*. I think this kind of misinformation can lead to interesting things in pkilling and rping MUDs -- maybe in hack-n-slash, too. Forcing people to think about their chances instead of relying purely on CONSIDER. <*=-+Daniel+-=*> "Forgive me father, for I am sin." +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
