No, actually, updating any project the size of rom is rather
complicated. Rom is a GREAT base, but that's just where it should stay,
as a BASE. You need to add what you need to add to make the mud yours,
to give it the look and feel you want to. I can't think of a hell of a
lot more that can be done to "improve" rom . There's a million and one
snippets out there yeah, but you should be able to implement those
rather quickly enough. Even better, write your own!!

**shudder**
Cult status is highly overrated anyways. With cult status, you have to
deal with the disrespectful idiots, the never-ending swarm of players
that want to come and trash your mud, or show a complete and total lack
of common decency or respect, or even better, the  "I want to be an
immortal" from a player as soon as they create their char. Give me 5-10
people on at any given time that are DEDICATED to the world,that
exercise general common sense and respect, who encourage growth, through
rp and non rp actions, and that will make me quite happy.
