I apologize, as now I realise that I used the wrong word above. In
hindsight, it should have read "Character persistence
across -sessions-..." rather than 'games'. The idea is to show that you
can stop playing, and come back to that point at a later time or date.
Again, there are many games we don't consider muds that have this
facility, but there are few that we -do- consider muds that don't :)
