&gt;&gt; I'm curious:

&gt;&gt; Why do you consider that NPC's, even complex NPC's would have more
&gt;&gt; code backing them than player characters?

&gt; I believe that really complex NPCs or bots will not be mud
&gt; resident.  

I suspect you're right here -- the NIH tendency is *way* too large, as 
are the server and interface abstraction benefits.

&gt; They will be some variation of julia/colins.  In fact at
&gt; least one MOO NPC is a modfied colin and there have been a few other
&gt; colins sprinkled around some other muds.  Unfortunately I got some
&gt; of the MOO colins going by making available my version called
&gt; madborg.  It wasn't until I tried to interface madborg to a database
&gt; server that I realized he had a fatal flaw.

Care to expoand on this?  I, and I'm sure several other here, are
interested in the flaws and your experiences.
