That's easily said, but a MUD means all the users have to share a significant portion of your data model. Though I suspect the bandwidth issue would be the main bottleneck most of the time... I don't want to get into this in much detail, mainly because I've spent all of 5 minutes seriously thinking about it, and may just need more bake-time... But it's not ALWAYS that easy to architect something to be "shared-nothing" even with PHP. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
