I have a Dystopia MUD (ROT i believe is for the Godwars)
and i kept reading that 'ROM is not hard to convert into
Godwars' well, if someone could help me and explain just
a tad about HOW easy it is, like a few line changes and
the like. I would be very appreciative.

No...ROT is derived from ROM, as Dystopia is derived from GodWars:

Diku -> Merc -> GodWars -> Dystopia

Diku -> Merc -> ROM -> ROT

I believe the ROM area format is very similar to Merc. GodWars (and by extention presumably Dystopia) is backwards compatible, and can read the Merc area format without problem. So all you really need to do is remove any ROM-specific entries, and GodWars should be able to read it.

Your best bet would be to take a Merc area file from ROM, and the same area from GodWars, and compare the two to see what things are done differently.

Thank you very much for helping
me out with that.
