I think it's definitely possible to have a serious roleplaying mud where you don't have to be logged in all day. Obviously the more time you spend on the game, the more you will be able to interact with people and get involved, but that doesn't mean you can't have serious rp in the times where you are logged on. I've come across new characters on the game I play and they instantly have something interesting to add and to play off of (crazy starving tshaharks, furry wild elves...). It make take awhile to get to know a game and to see what interesting ideas would work, but you don't have to be playing all day for some fun rp to develop. It does depend upon the mud, I'm sure. And what one player considers "serious rp" may not be the same as what another player considers it. But I wouldn't say it's not possible.
