Sorry - Stilton has a habit of misquoting, I should have double checked before replying.

However DGD, at least, has an excellent commercial track record. It was purchased by iChat (now Acuity) in 1995 and used to create a powerful chat server, which was licensed by Yahoo! and other well-known Internet companies. It is also used by Skotos Tech, the company which runs commercial muds such as Grendel's Revenge and The Eternal City - not to mention a couple of graphical muds (including Meridian 59, one of the earliest MMORPGs) and numerous online strategy games.

All three engines I listed have been used by numerous muds, some of which are as old as (or older than) Achaea. So while I don't doubt the success of your games, the situation is certainly not as clear cut as Stilton implied.
