You should spend less time going on and on and on (in excruciating detail) about your ideas for the MUD's story and instead put something in about how you plan to obtain the necessary resources for multiple MUDs. Especially since you evidently have no coding knowledge and are asking coders to just come help you for free. Particularly, how will you pay for the hosting and how reliable is your paycheck? Are you an educated professional or a kid eagerly planning a "fifteen year" project that would run entirely from your parents basement? When coders are considering devoting their talent to your cause, these are the things they are worried about, not whether you know how to throw together some stock fantasy theme.
I note in particular that your personal homepage does not exactly scream "this person is reliable enough to embark upon a 15 year project with".
