And this is its biggest failing, in my opinion. MUDs have long
lifespans and are many are extremely well-balanced. Crossfire
could have been the world's first graphical MUD, and instead it's
the world's biggest Gauntlet game.

This is *exactly* the problem I was addressing with my mail. We
all noticed the same thing when I played it some years ago. When
you get to that level, what do you do? You start another character,
and then gripe about how boring *that* is. There seems to be a
magic time, around 10th-15th level, when the game is actually fun,
and then it goes downhill.
If everyone feels this way, then why is everyone resisting changing
the game to make it harder for high-level players?
