This entry, I feel, adds a both a little history and substance to the other entries I have seen in the guide. It also does mention M*s other than MUDs - which, if you do a search for online role-playing, you get an entry that focuses primarily on the world of MUDs, with the second entry focusing on table-top RPGs. As an avid gamer, I want to let people know there is more to online role-playing than games that focus on going out, killing the monster and giving the treasure. I have attempted to do so via a small history and a few links. I hope you consider this to be edited.

A good entry!
I like it, although I think the title might need a change - the M* could be misleading - I think I know what you mean, by using it as a wildcard, but I think it would be better being bit more specific.
