Thank you! Re: gamification, I guess I finally found a use for all the time I spent playing Gemstone III when I was 12. It seems that MUDs or writing about them were well represented in the training data because preventing it from veering off into D&D like fantasy was actually the hardest part (hence the talking rat incident).

Something I wrote about Gemstone years ago:

I’ve been surprised how much my time spent as a 12 year old in Elanthia (I played DragonRealms, a spin-off) has served me.

Most notably, it made me a very fast typist from trying to escape dying.

I've always figured my typing speed was due to MUD's as a kid!
