The biggest complain I hear from users of zMud that have tried MC is that it is not very user friendly, and I think that's because the world options are a bit confusing. Normally, there would be the options you absolutely have to set in order to start playing in one area, and the other, cosmetic options in another area. So I think that a wizard would be great for new players. The wizard would gather information like world name, address, port, proxy, username/password, what to send on connection, and it would generate a new world and briefly tell the user where to look for more options and how to save the world. What do you think?

More confusing than zMUD, is that the position? ;)

Hmmm - I normally use "Quick Connect" - you only answer 3 questions, world name, address, port. Later you can go back and fine-tune the other stuff.

I can always add to that dialog, but the whole point of it was to keep it simple.
