Plamzi:
Why would I tell you that what your suggesting is going back to Ultima Online 1997? That's not at all what I meant. MMOs have evolved further. Look at WoW(and that's even old now) -- practically every graphical mmo game since WoW's success has tried to copy/emulate it and has utterly failed. Plenty of them have had WAY better graphics, sound and "immersive" experience. I'm not saying "do nothing". I'm just saying that ... eh nevermind. Good luck with your project.

Lotherio:
BINGO. Truly, content is king and you've just made some really good points. Aside from content, you mentioned a couple successful MUDs -- and I think they are successful because they are properly curating their community of players - Threshold and Aateran both do a really good job at knowing their niche, and they draw success from that.
