Armageddon, DartMUD, Accursed Lands and Discworld are all what I consider to be "quality" free MUDs, with immersive original worlds, ground-breaking code, thorough documentation, helpful, dedicated staff and a sense of community in the playerbase.
I can't compare them to DragonRealms, because I have never played it, but I have dabbled in both Archea and The Eternal City, and while these two games did seem like they also were of a high calibre, I didn't see anything in them that made them stand out as "better" than the abovementioned freebies.
This, of course, is purely my subjective experience and dependant upon my own peculiar taste in MUDs. I don't think I would recommend any of the above freebies to guru4u as none of them are exactly h&s. I just wanted to second Terloch's point that MUDs are like wines, one isn't necessarily better than another just because it costs more.
