Ask yourself this though: What have these other games done to try to get this attention? Just putting in a feature and then not telling anyone about it aside from other text mudders isn't going to get you any attention from anyone but text mudders. Most text muds do absolutely no advertising or PR work outside of existing text mud communities. Obviously free muds aren't in a position to run advertisements that may cost thousands of dollars, but you can do a lot of creative PR work for free. There's just not much incentive for free muds to do that when compared to the incentive we have, for instance.
