Hmm. I do not think it is that bad.

This is a quote from how that trend finder works.

The graph is proportional. The total number of people using google is probably going up. Even if the same amount of people searched for muds as did at the beginning of 04 it would be going down.

But on the flipside, checking trends for words like mmorpg, online game, online rpg, all show increasing graphs. I have been to alot of the popular MMOG and MMORPG sites and I have found links to muds on those sites before. I know it dosent mean everyone that searches for those terms will go to text games, but I bet at least a few do.

Also I just did a check on "text games" and "text game" and they yielded steady results. I think a person newer to the text scene is probably more likely to search for text game rather than mud myself.
