Although I can't say I played Carrion Fields for long enough to judge, player bases are a problem with a ton of muds. Take a look at Realms of Despair for a great example of a well made mud with a bunch of really crappy players. This happens with any sufficiently popular game though, and I think you'll find that there are a lot of really cool people in these games too, if you stop focusing on it. It's like a headache - it hurts, but as soon as you can bring yourself to focus on something else you stop noticing it so much.
