You've got a point there, not to mention that I continued the development of TinTin++ in 2004 which is currently getting 1700 downloads a month. Mushclient is a pretty big fish as well. I personally don't think the web based clients are a big threat, the users who use those are probably the same ones who'd have stuck with telnet in the old days.

The 'mud client' search used to be on trends, but is now gone, so I guess general interest for that search has dropped below the inclusion threshold. The 'mud games' trend is sporadic and lower than zMud's. Comparing the trend for zmud vs mushclient it looks like zMud still dwarves all other clients.

Not to mention that WoW doesn't cater well to the exploring and socializing player types. Pay for perks MMORPGs are gonna be the next big thing though, and I think we all know that doesn't bode well for muds.
