I'm saying that for MUDs to vanish it needs a whole certain type of people to vanish too. I don't know what it is that is given to a small percentage of people so that they will start playing a MUD but where's one there are anothers. Based on my own experience I only had to see one of my friends playing it and I already knew that I will learn it too. What's wrong with me then? It's quite simple - I was bored of 3D and the new coolest graphical games. There are always people who for some reason want to try something completely different. In my research people who play muds are either programmers, d&d or LARP fans, computer gamers, nerds, metalheads or some pretty random guys. Is one of these types vanishing? Certainly no.
