First, I should disclose that I'm not a prospective MUD owner, but an actual one.

If you're a prospective MUD owner and your goal is to make a successful MUD, and you are wondering whether it's worthwhile, then the answer (for you) is no. Clearly, you haven't defined "success" for yourself in a way that will make this question easy to answer (or even irrelevant to ask). Clearly, you lack the passion that an enthusiast project such as this one absolutely requires. There's nothing wrong with that--it's just that facing up to it may save you a lot of mental anguish.

I've been a successful MUD owner for two years now. It's been the most fun I've had in my adult life. I don't remember ever asking myself if it's worth it.
