Lone Wolf is on a distinguished road
I was introduced to MUDs by graphical game players, and I myself come from a background of Console RPGs and fighting games, and now enjoy text based MUDs more than any other type of game (having played Diablo, EQ, Ultima Online and enjoyed them as well). Conversation on my MUD often includes other graphical as well as text games... I think this assumption is , respectfully, very far off the mark.

However, what I would say is that a RP-oriented game like Shadows of Isilidur wouldn't cut into the profits of MEO, but there is at least one Tolkien based MUD with a player base of 1000+ players that I think would be more than a little relevant in that respect...

In the end, though I do agree with Logos that it should be up to the copyright holder , I am far more sympathetic to builders/coders in your position than people that make a game completely based off of someone else's IP.
