Re: Do MUDs need to be "brought into the 21st century"
It's likely to draw a lot more attention than investing an extra couple of hours into server development. It also means you've got the infrastructure in place for supporting a more advanced interface in the future, and sets an example that may inspire players to continue the work for you.
All in all, I consider it a solid investment of time, regardless of whether or not you want to take the concept further yourself. I don't think people should be discouraged with the suggestion that they must invest vast amounts of time for it to be worthwhile. Instead, I would far rather point out the advantages of simply getting your foot in the door.
