I feel partially the same way, although i still play MUDs.

I think the classical MUDs were heavily and negatively affected by how computers evolved.
I am thinking here of World of Warcraft and similar games. These kind of replaced MUDs or affected them mostly negatively.

Then I have also noticed a decline in the coding languages. LPC for instance is too cumbersome compared to i.e. Python or Ruby. You invest too much time in this pseudo C language...

What I resent the most is the loss of great roleplayers. People 10 years ago went to great lengths to portray their characters. Enter 2011 and not so much is left of these players anymore ... sadly.

I'd wish there would be good roleplayers aggregating somewhere again.
