It's just a shame that very few people play the latest descendants of the original MUD anymore (where 5 players on at the same time is a crowd). There are two incarnations, http://mudii.co.uk/ based in the UK, and http://mud2.com/ in Canada; the UK version being the most active - if it can be called that.
Graphical MMOGs may be all the rage, but you still haven't lived until you've died in MUD.
