"Could you give an example of a MUD that works this way?" Certainly. Accursed Lands (www.accursedlands.com) has fully skill-based advancement... they don't even have classes. If you want to be a fighter/mage/thief... go fight/cast/steal to gain skill. Still in Beta, but it's an open beta and it's free.
AL spawned from much code in Dartmud, but I don't have any details on how that mud was.
