I've been trying to draw from the population of WoW players on the Earthen Ring RP server for text-based games, but, as one might expect, that has met so far with limited success. Mostly, we've gotten interest from people who knew what MUDs were before and played for a sense of nostalgia (and, secondarily, an affinity for the game themes).

I'm hoping to find more success through exposure of the OtherVerse Wiki and MU*Wiki at Wikia.com. My feeling is that by showcasing these sites in a mix that includes comic book fandom sites, Star Wars and Star Trek canon sites, and EQ/WoW fan sites, we'll have better luck snaring 1) people who are already rather Net savvy and 2) people who are fans of text-based environments and 3) people from interests outside the existing talent pool of MUDers.
