Amen Brotha. Look at Ultima Online, which was HUGE and the powerhouse for a few years and now it is WoW and in a couple years it will be something else. Do we really care? That's business.

Same goes for Muds. There are many more Text RPG choices than GUI RPGs (I like the gui distinction rather than the lame MMORPG, because anything could be defined as Massive) so you will likely find what you want in a Text RPG. The reason for this is because Text RPG's can be hobby run, but try to run a competitive GUI RPG without paid high end graphic artists and proggers and you'll get jack.

But the bottom line is that GUI RPG's and Text RPG's will come and go as the market dictates and not because someone can't hop onto Battle.net and play.
