Wik, I think you'd like Age of Reptiles. A lot of your requirements don't fit it, as it's quite odd compared to other MUDs/MUSHes, but here's a rundown.
1. There is no equipment. The few objects you can have are saved, though.
2. There are a lot of secrets. Nothing too important, but some very interesting things can be discovered if you're perceptive enough. Secret rooms, special objects, ect.
3. Although to get stronger you have to kill things, it makes perfect sense within the game's context. You play as a dinosaur, after all. Levels are easy to gain, though, and you can max out in two days with little effort. To get truly strong you have to roleplay.
4. There are quite a few areas to explore, with well-written descriptions and area affects that really add to the atmosphere. While wading through the eastern swamps, for example, you might pick up a few annoying leeches.
4a. None.
4b. You can gather a handful of plants in some areas by foraging , and they have beneficial properties.
4c. Yup.
5. Usually 5-10 players online. The world is quite small, though, so it's easy to find a few other people to RP with.
6. Roleplaying between newbies and veterans is pretty much seamless. Newbies can expect to be showed around by older pack members, introduced to the rest of the pack, taken hunting, ect.
7. Ayup.
8. There's only one race, and it's based off of a real animal.
There's a ton more info on AoR to be found in the various other topics and reviews about it.
