I became a wizard via cheating.  I knew I was doing so.  I didn't need to
become a wizard really.  I barely cared about the questing except to
understand the people I interact with socially better.  I have helped players
along their way -- not that it was much help.

Perhaps IRC would be better for me but I haven't rediscovered how to get to it
after the first attempt only found a very few people.

ERIS is dead quiet.  Gladly I did encounter Bo there once again.

I only connected to Dikumud a tiny bit.

Web forums are slow and clunky as compared to hageln.

The only wizard device/command I ever really use is echoto -- ever since I
lost my spanner.  It is also handy to not run out of spell points when using
tell.
221.36I'll be back.GIDDAY::HOBBSAndy Hobbs. Sydney CSC. -730 5964Mon Apr 14 1997 03:4225
    
     Back in the old days when I started playing and the old players
    were already old (June 1990, ish), the Euros used to see the quests
    as a good fun challenge and there was an amusing little intellectual
    thing going on there. It was also taken across into notes with games
    like Mornington Crescent and the wind-up games.
    
     Since most of those type of contractors are either gone, or finding
    actual challenges in the work environment at last, their input is gone
    and the questing interest has waned.
    
     I still feel that the answer to "Should quests be optional" should
    be "No". Even with cheats, the work done to get up the levels has some
    effect and the new wizards learn more than they would if every new
    player was automatically a wizard.
    
     I'm not a great coder and never was, but my quest is more cheat-
    proof than most. You, Joe, could redesign the quests to be better
    at guarding against cheats, if you wanted to.
    
     Perhaps there should be a re-vamp ?
    
     Otherwise, this isn't a MUD, but an IRC.
