UO was even worse - you knew exactly what every item was and what it did and that was that.

Roguelike games randomize the names and colors of items, but we all know what they all are and there are a fixed set of them. What I always wanted were procedurally generated items - like weapons and armor and so on. I don't play any games like this anymore but I did play a lot of MUDs and, later, years of UO. is there anything you would like to be implemented in modern MMO and is technically possible?' There were a lot of bugs to explore, more loose systems, and it was fun :) Small server with not that many players, but intense interaction. Because to train most skills you would have to do repetitive tasks.

Players not necessarily had to do the same stuff or take long time to achieve wealth. The economics felt more playful, not so hard. This may seem cruel, but it allowed for so much emergent gameplay that it was incredible. Scamming, home invasion, and all that stuff was allowed. There was also snooping which was the skill to see other player backpack. Stealing was allowed as a skill you could train (and steal directly from another player backback - he could flag you if he noticed though and guards would come). And if you got killed, your corpse would be standing there with all the items you were carrying. But when we left town, there was a message saying there were no guards around. When you attacked a player inside a town, the guards would immediately kill you. Items were created using skill, which you had to train from 33.3% to 100%. The necessity to kill a same monster 700x times to try and find X item didn't exist. (sometimes there would be unique quests for a limited time - events) Games today feel more planned-out most of the times. I have tried a lot of online rpg's since then but never even got close to feeling similar to these days. Official server players might have had a different experience. In mudlet I remember doing this by matching the room name - that would trigger a gate/filter thing which would suck up all the new lines received until the Exits line appeared whereby the gate/filter thing would close.I played on a private shard (server) of ultima online for a long time. Perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way? How can I limit the regex to just new lines received since the last match or perhaps I should write the regex so it searches backwards? Perhaps there is a special character I can match which will anchor it to the end of the input from the MUD, like an EOF or something? * then it starts to work but it matches too many lines - it will match the previous 30 lines in the buffer which will include the previous room I was in before moving to the current one, so it all gets very confused very quickly. Whose regex works on but NOT AT ALL on MUSH. So the trigger I've written is like this: The essence of the issue is that I need the description to form a unique hash (I don't have the room's vnums, and room names and exits are not unique), and the room desc is not a fixed number of lines, it's like this (e.g.): The regex works but the problem is that it matches too much. I've tested the regex on and you can see that in action here ().

I'm trying to write a multiline regex to match our MUD's roomname, description and exits in one shot.
