I think that the point is that AeonFalls uses a more graphical interface than your typical MUD, and therefor loses a lot of what it offers if it allows a standard MUD client. They will lose some traffic of people who cannot do without their zMUD, yes, but it can be a design choice to want all players on a level and quality playing field. Whether or not it succeeds will come down to market strategies, and whether or not they are sufficient to make up for the slight loss they will take when attracting hardcore MUDers.
