Well, most "role-playing" MUDs tend to at least advertise that there is more than just leveling and such to them (that's not to say they're being completely honest). I'm afraid I'm a bit out of the loop on non-RP MUDs so I can't really recommend one to you. However, I can suggest that most H&S MUDs (that is, those which don't emphasize role-play) tend to have competitive people on them who do emphasize leveling and acquisition of equipment/gold. It's sort of the nature of the beast and finding one that doesn't is likely going to be difficult. Sorry I can't be of much assistance. Have you tried looking over the characteristics that Realms of Despair lists and then running a search for other MUDs that meet that same set of criteria? That's really the most I can offer.
Good luck though and take care.
Jason
