And that meant you had to be a programmer who knew how to code C on a Unix machine to add any new behavior to the system. But on a few Dikus, it led to making quests too, and it was actually a lot easier to build quests in a “quest system” than to one-off hand code them in an LP mudlib that didn’t implement a “system” for it.
