The lesson from Habitat (an early sorta-mud) is that no central 
community can do all the building for the users.

Vworlds/muds is the producer/consumer world.  It would be an
incredible dull world if everything came prebuilt.  But it's not
going to happen that way.  As long as there is a fairly easy
way for people to manipulate their vworlds, they will do so.
