While I'd like MUDs to evolve with limited graphics, I expect most people here prefer just straight text, which is fine with me.

(High-quality graphics would be wonderfull too, but that's completely unrealistic because MUDs are more of a hobbyist virtual world, with limited ($0.00) budgets. And those small budgets are part of the reason why MUDs are worth keeping alive, because they're not trying to be (to use another analogy) mass-market McDonalds or McWoW, but a mom-and-pop restaurant on the corner - niche market, small community.)

However, I would like to see MUDs evolve (not towards MMORPGs - that's already been done).
