If not for DIKU, I simply wouldn't be mudding. At the point in time that I was willing to venture out past my BBS's and Zork, no other codebase (to my thirteen year old mind) was even remotely worth my while.
Now granted, since then, I've branched out and learned to like a variety of MU* codebases. But I never would have gotten that opportunity if it wasn't for the DIKU creators because I would have found another genre to entertain me.
