I don't know why people think that levels or lack thereof somehow affect
people's roleplaying. RP is not dependent on the technical rules, it
comes from the player and his own imagination. I fail to see how
removing levels and/or combat would somehow suddenly improve the quality
of RP on a mud, if its players didn't make any additional efforts to
roleplay.
