The consider system, global ticks, holy trinity, dot... everything here comes from muds. They were so similar that there was a lawsuit between sony and the original creators. Well one of them. See telnet MUD was designed to be an open platform for creative minds to be able to DM over large distances. It was distributed freely. One of the creators decided to sue sony for stealing assets but another person ownes the majority of the IP. He dropped the lawsuit saying that it was designed as an open platform for all to use. At least that is how I heard it. You never can really trust information back in the dark ages when BBS boards were still a thing.
