Have you considered ArmageddonMUD?
The crafting system is excellent, and is still constantly growing thanks to input from players and the diligence of the staff. Basically you gain raw materials by foraging, chopping trees, hunting and skinning beasts, etc, then can tan/dye/carve them into another product, and more elaborate pieces come to you as you advance in skill and knowledge. You can even analyze objects that you buy/find in game, and discern what they are made from. It's a truly amazing addition to our game.
Roleplay is enforced, meaning no channels, very strict rp requirements, and a steep learning curve for most new players. Not to worry, there are Helpers who can help you through such sources as email and instant messagers... needless to say ooc communication in the game is highly frowned upon.
Armageddon has between 50 and 70 people on most evenings, and 20-40 most other times (though that varies). You are practically guaranteed to encounter at least one other person every time you log on... but it is a harsh, desert world, and such encounters aren't always friendly. Everything in the game occurs in character, and the players are the greatest driving force behind the game.
I suggest going to the GDB and reading up on things, it's an ooc forum that most players are more than willing to discuss just about anything on.
