Line 21:
* An enormous range of [[Character Level|Character Levels]], often several hundred, if there even is a level cap. Can make finding a worthwhile-but-beatable foe difficult.
* A concomitant amount of [[Level Grinding]] to go with those levels.
* [[Immortality]]: Many MUDs and [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]]s have means of ensuring that even if your character dies, the game isn't over—and most ignore aging as well. Some of the most blatant examples basically boil down to Type IV Immortality with penalties such as lost [[Role Playing Game Terms|experience points]], lost money, and being teleported back to a town.
 
** The SWR codebase for MUDs is a bit of an exception. You usually need to buy a clone, which generally isn't cheap. Some codebases will give low-level players a free clone (or just have auto-cloning) but more often you have to buy one regardless of level. If you don't have a clone, death becomes quite permanent. Of course, [[Cloning Blues|cloning is hardly true immortality...]]
