Which kind of telnet do you mean? Pure bare telnet utility which is
ubiqitous in the every UNIX distribution and also in Windows (though,
forgive me for the expression, castrated) or the telnet protocol as
described in RFC854?
I'd say that you don't need neither RMI nor CORBA for both cases,
though...

And probably you also want to divide the system into independent
business logic (read: MUD) part and persistency (read: DB) part, this
way you don't have to care about multithreading within a DB driver.

Catching the chance, I'd like to throw the next flamebite:
NPC is a set of: ( <behavior model>,<gathered knowledge> ). Thus, it's
perfectly possible to divide the behavior model and move it out of the
main server. Then, when the NPC is needed, you just call the NPC
behavior model engine, load the knowledge base into that engine, and let
it continue.

This mechanism I (personal opinion) detest as the least efficient. I'd
prefer them to wait the objects from the event queue and then process
them and fall back to sleep until next event.

Once again, why 15? Why not 14 or 16?

Sure they are :-) Given the in-game experience, probably much smarter
the newbies :-)
