Definitely an interesting article. It's nice to hear someone glorifying MUDs again, something I haven't seen or heard much of in over a decade. The thing that resonated the most with me was the fact that players return to their favorite games after lengthy absences. I've seen it (and done it) in games I've played over the years.

The one thing that the small technical footprint and low operating cost MUDs provide, though, is that keeping a MUD server online costs almost nothing compared to a social network, so our favorite games have longevity. I've played multiple games over the years that have been around for at least two decades now.
