Why would someone want to play a MUD? Because they want to play a text game. Why a mud as opposed to a graphical game? Because it's their preference. Same reason why they'd want to play a graphics game over a text game. Same reason why they'd play Monopoly over a graphics game, or poker over Monopoly. Same reason why some would prefer to go hunting, over playing a game about hunting.

Different strokes for different folks. They want different things. Just not that many people interested in text games.
