If you want to prevent botting then you need ways to detect bots not force a client. Having a custom client available is nice, but I know personally if I'm bored enough I might find it quite fun to hack a proprietary mud client/protocol just because I can. And of course being able to do so without the insane legal measures a large scale commercial operation would hit you with.
Even if you think its unhackable and claim that it is unhackable that will just encourage more people to try.
