Are those people still playing MUDs? It is one thing to get impressed and another to actually play the games. I have experienced often that it is tough to get people who play graphical rpgs to also stay with text MUDs.

Advertising MUDs could help, and post news about what happens in the community. For example did you know that Zugg Software was at SOE Fan Faire()? Appearently he also tried to promote cMUD/zMUD there which means he promoted MUDs as well.

By trying to be creative and lead development of mmrpg gameplay design MUDs can also get more attention. In graphical games there seems often to be a lot of focus on graphics and sometimes I ask myself if gameplay suffers from it. On the other hand a 3D world might open gameplay that isn't easy to achieve in a text world.
