Simutronics is still riding the wave of the golden age and steadily losing momentum. IRE, for lack of a better word, leeches on the MUD community for its players, steadily losing momentum as well as the MUD community as a whole shrinks, as can be observed with google trends.

It should be possible to attract people who never mudded before, but I think time has shown that this is incredibly difficult, so the biggest barrier for commercial muds is advertisement.
