For roleplay-intensive games,
How important is a single player character in your MUD?
I've noticed that across many games, the role of one player varies all across the spectrum--there have been games where a player is always a great leader, commanding vast resources, ruling over the largest institutions of the world. Or they are an individual "hero" adventuring around the world, doing good deeds and whatnot. And there have been games where a player, at best, is a common citizen with little or no power. The positions of power in the world are technically filled by non-player characters. These differences create a completely different atmosphere and give a very different sense of scale in the minds of the users who enjoy the games. Which is preferable?
Where are your players in terms of the in-game power and status that they wield?
