Certainly MUDs can be a waste of time as well if you do not watch out and are careful. There is a difference between MUD and WoW culture though. In MUD you could become a builder and directly add content to the game. You take on a role doing something productive, and eventually you could help to code the game itself or start your own.

In games like WoW on the other hand you are simply a player. You spend time gaining levels, and doing quests. There is very little creative things going on. Does someone like ? If you get some idea on a feature you would like to see you would not even get feedback on it. As player there you are far far down the ladder and you would never be worthy to talk to the developers directly.

That is the difference. In WoW you remain a player and your creativity is limited. In MUD you can actually improve your real life skills and produce something to be proud of. What do you gain from WoW?
