Like I said, might be better to start by counting weeks. We don't yet know
when Jason anticipates having the game out.
Homer: Hey, uh, could you go across the street and get me a slice of pizza?
Vender: No pizza. Only Khlav Kalash.

If this brings me even half the enjoyment I got from Nethack, I think
forty smackers will be well spent. Counting the hours, too.

Entombed was always going to be commercial, ---- bare in mind Jason has
been working on it for the last two years nearly! in fact, I think it'd
be a great shame indeed if he doesn't get enough good response to this to
create more games.
Yes, muds are free.
muds are also multiplayer, single character, usually lack decent questing
or story for specific in game elements, ---- and do not have sound or
music.
while I've not had mud experience, I'd also imagine you'd be hard pressed
to find a mud with enemies who are as intelligent, or interesting to
fight as the entombed monsters, ---- much less one which allows you so
many actions during combat with your various characters.
entombed is also randomized, so even if combining and rescuing different
character classes doesn't give enough replay value, --- randomly created
dungeons and items certainly should!
I'll admit, I'm actually slightly narked that when someone spends two
solid years writing a high quality audio game, ---- not to mention the
first ever! serious audio rpg, ---- the first response we get is "oh I
can't be bothered to pay for the game, ---- there are plenty of muds!"
I'll admit I'm heavily biased, ---- sinse I've been very much involved
with entombed from the start, and the muds I've tried have been less than
satisfactory in terms of quests and in game history.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
