Think about it like this...graphic games will always be limited by the very technology that everyone is so amazed by. The pictures are beautiful, the effects are stunning. Yet because of these very factors they eat up huge amounts of memory, require top of the line pcs to operate, and frequently require large cash outlays in software, updates, upgrades, and perks.
In contrast, text base MUDS are almost unlimited in the number of zones they can put in, the number of people they can accomodate, and any amazing effect that can be imagined because...well, text does not take up the space or cost what graphics do. The adventures in a text base game like Medievia are limitless, and because MUDs are constantly growing, changing, and adding new things they will never have the constraints placed on them that graphics do.
A text base mud is only limited by their implementors imaginations, not by the amount of space on their hds or the amount of memories in their computers.
