&gt; &gt; &gt;Database storage/persistence (relational or Object Oriented)
&gt; 
&gt; My MUD design knowledge is pretty limited. I've at least played a few and
&gt; worked on some adventure systems. I'm interested to know a couple of items
&gt; to help clarify what might be planned. These might be much too complex to
&gt; answer on this list, so if that is the case I'll ask them of others here
&gt; locally and in person.
&gt; 
&gt; What platform will be used for the Mud?
&gt; 
&gt; 	Linux
&gt; 	General UNIX running GNU?
&gt; 	BSD	

  My vote is for any Posix-compliant Unix (so that we can use things like
pthreads and suchlike).
 
&gt; What kind of database is usually used?  
&gt; 
&gt; If you use a relational database does someone then create a series of
&gt; stored procedure that can be called to help speed implementation. If you
&gt; do then would they be something like the implied functionality of these:
&gt; 

  I'm not sure I like the idea of a relational database. They tend to
be inefficient in my limited experience, and also I think some sort of OO
database is going to make more sense for a mud.
