I played Mortal Realms until it went down late 1999, after that I've played about a dozen or so MUDs, typically getting bored within a year and moving on.

I agree that the Lord of the Rings is hard fantasy, though it has some soft edges, like dragons, ents, rare minor magic, obscure magical powers (like in Gandalf's case), mithril, immortal races, wraiths, and there's probably more, though I think that's most of it.

A good Tolkien mud would keep those (imo) to a minimum, but I wouldn't be surprised if most add much more magic, mithril, and implausible beings than the books allow for.
