It's a good idea, I would read it and maybe write articles, but IMO it should stick to the core value of MUDs, that they're text-based. There's already plenty of press on MMOs, and while MMO articles could attract a broader readership, I feel that what would make the publication special would be a MUD focus, not a MUD/MMO focus.

If you do want to attract a broader readership, I suggest branching out into browser-based games -- Echo Bazaar would be a great example -- and interactive/hypertext/CYOA fiction.
