Releasing the Code
Would it be incredibly rude to suggest that the mud's code be released? I wouldn't mind taking a crack at developing myself.
Teflor does. Teflor does not.
DikuMUD itself is already freely available, as are many derivatives. Unless you want _this_ MUD specifically...

You're the one who seems to think the forgers are in some kind of conspiracy to prevent the MUD from having players...
There's plenty of competition out there though, so shouldn't everything be perfect?

I was thinking it might be nice to do a release before toril2 came out. Not of zones, just the rest. Then people could have an interesting look over what was if they wanted. Since it won't be in effect anymore?

How can there be legal issues? It's based on Diku which is open source, and has already been released to two sets of programmers hasn't it?
Corth could probably explain I guess, if he weren't busy being an ass.

While the source is open, extensive modifications have taken place over the years to where the base is hardly recognizable and enters into the realm of intellectual property.
But I also know that an agreement was reached, upon the founding of this incarnation of TorilMUD, that the then owners of the MUD agreed not to release the code. Developers such as myself have agreed to a NDA regarding the code base and our access to it.
It's a topic you could bring up with Shevarash directly as well via email if you like, but I don't see the Toril source becoming broadly available.

Actually, knowing the combat logic shouldn't matter after 2.0 is released. Would just be how things _used_ to work!
