"Maintaining a mature environment" is not a very scaleable solution as your
playerbase grows. This effect is noticeable even when you go from 10 to 100
to 200 simultaneous users on a hobbyist text mud. "Mature environment"
largely depends on the effectiveness of peer pressure. Peer pressure largely
depends on small group size.
