I think pure hack-n-slash muds have the most to fear from technological advancements, better UIs, graphics, multimedia, etc. since that type of gameplay is largely designed for the pure visceral experience of battle.

Roleplay and/or more interaction based muds still offer an experience that is superior to what you can get from graphical MMOs.

So I think a lot of this boils down to what type of games you like. There are certain types of experiences for which MUDs are still the best way to obtain that experience.
