The trend, as I insinuated in my post, goes beyond just MUDs - and there are entire books, classes, and professionals who deal with the sociological trends of the Internet; I know from personal, collegic study of the subject. Again, I'll refer to my entire post; combinations of per-capita income, costs of living, pace-of-life, public acceptance of internet cult interest, game-design studio locations, etc etc etc etc ETC go into what causes trends in high populations of internet-society users in a given geographical area.
Anyways, the reasons for high density is not as important to the topic of the post as the fact that high density locations are perfect geographical Red Xs for cheap, local, television advertising.
