Um, have you considered simultaneous MUDding with your friends - I've not done it but I understand that some MUDs are amiable to LAN parties and it sure as hell beats having a background Skype or other back channel to coordinate your actions - though typically you do have to play on the same side. One of the perks of text based things such as MUDs is that the bandwidth is not excessive and can usually be shared between players without problems - just be sure to check in advance what the arrangements are when multiple players appear to be coming from the same IP address, otherwise some MUDs will do nasty things to characters that appear to be multi-playing...!

Of course this also has the potential as a way to introduce others that you know to the joy of your particular MUD!
