Sorry I have been informed off list that I only advertise here and that I am
holier than thou. I also seem to only come here to brag and never help
anyone so. I am going to not answer. Of course this will be taken as some
kind of affront I am sure. I will continue to answer questions if no-one
else can.

Ken,
WHat exactly is so different/so great about valHalla MUD? Not to be
degrading, I am just curious what makes your MUD stand out. You appear
to be quite proud of it and I'm wondering why. Except for the 20 years
of experience, theres quite a few muds that date from the early 90's.
What else?
