Traditional version is text-only via telnet feed. But if you run it through a Web interface can it still be a Mud? Are graphics the dividing line? I personally see games like EQ as fully graphic commercial Muds but I know that most consider MMORPGs as their own catagory.
I guess I have just had the mantras of 'Always free' and 'Available to all via pure telnet' chanted at me a few more times than you have. I doubt they are still around and of the same opinon today, but I used to know people who spat at the mere mention of a pay to play Mud.
Never completely, but the scales will slowly tip in that direction forever.
Everything is a matter of perspective. When I say 'best' I mean it in the general sense of the word, an overall top rating.
