Arches only snoop for debugging or game security purposes. We have numerous private and snoop proof rooms available. Of course, if you don't make it obvious that you have multiple characters, we'll never know. Wizards allowed to talk to players, etc but not share quest solutions or help in combat. Major changes or additions by creator must be approved, like adding a guild or club to an existing area.
Wizards can work individually or as part of a domain.
Not too much hardcoded stuff in the mudlib. We try to leave the creative stuff to the wizards and only add stuff that will make coding easier. Frobbing is extremely rare. Some posted by Avatar council.
