Levels of player

You can play MUSHes on various levels, grouped roughly as:

• Player, or "mortal" (one who participates in the Virtual World, but does not change it)
• Builder (a player who modifies the Virtual World)
• Wizard (one with extra powers, who builds, enforces the "theme", helps other players, and arbitrates disputes)
• God (the owner/controller of the MUSH)

It is not "good" or "bad" to play at a particular level. If you want to be the God of a MUSH, download a copy of the server and run it on your own PC. You might not necessarily have many players other than yourself, but at least you can do whatever you want. On the other hand, being a normal "mortal" player means that you can enjoy the fruits of the labours of others.
