If your focus in a MUD is to uncover all the coded stuff, as fast as possible, and max the coded part of the character (skills, levels, stats) out, then basically once you do that, you win. Game over.

If your focus in a MUD is to uncover plotlines, create them, gain in power through the roleplayed manipulations of your character into positions of influence, then the game will never be over, because that stuff changes constantly.

You can have a stagnant coded game world and still have a thrilling living game. It all depends on what you want to do while you're in it, AND on what the game admin's focus is.
