There are a few folks. CoffeeMud is a wonderful piece of MUD programming. I find it easy to modify, and even have one version where I added timed-combat.

Runs great there.

If you are going to have it hosted on a server be aware that it IS Java-based. Takes a boatload of memory, and I have had a host complain about the number of threads it generates.

Runs fastest with an external DB as well, although it comes with a stock internal DB. MYSQL can usually be found on most host servers. Pretty easy to set up.

All in all, I like it. Though I know a lot of C programmers (which I do a bit of) might find it odd to use a Java MUD codebase.
