&gt; Server design:
&gt;         - in C++
&gt;         - using a relational database (surely MySQL)
&gt;         - under Linux RedHat 5.0
&gt;         - multi-threaded, event driven
&gt;         - still only in project phase
&gt;         - 1 world: small basic medieval-fantastic world, with basic races
&gt; like elves, humans, orks...

Now, let's again chant: hate numbers 1,2,3; love numbers like x,y,z.

In this context, what is a definition of a race? Which properties are
specific for the &lt;you-name-it-not-just-race&gt;? How do I generalize that?

And, getting to a big picture, how do I put down in concrete the MUD
world object model?

I believe, once this task is done, it would be much simpler to design it
further, as well as implement.
