Well there you go, then - players don't like change.

It's one of those "damned if you do, damned if you don't" things: if you never change anything the mud will stagnate, players will get bored, and leave - but if you do change it, people will hate it...and leave. You have to try and find the right balance, and it sounds as if your mud didn't do that.

Perhaps it turned into a "better" mud in your opinion, but many of the old players will have been there because they liked the original mud, so you'll have to go through the whole process again of building up a playerbase.
