No offense, but I wouldn’t wish fixing bugs in OLC on any code newbie, unless I really didn’t like them of course....

A mud should be an experience, if a newbie coder comes in and has everything go right all the time, where is the coding curve? People should have to figure out some level of bugs for themselves, not have everything handed to them on a golden platter. There are so many snippets out there that I've gone mud surfing and have found muds created from NOTHING but other peoples work, and you know what? Some of them are even popular... For a reason that I dont use 2.01, I point towards the Other Chris's explaination... I've had race/class online creation, and it made me lazy, so I yanked it... I like putting thought into things, and if it's a weee bit harder, so much the better imho... I'm not saying you SHOULDN'T release a "bugfixed/translated version", I'm just giving you a couple options as to why I believe it would hurt the community rather than help it.
