You may or may not be right, but I don't think this particular graph represents anything other than interest in zmud itself. A number of factors at play there:Numbers are down on a lot of the bigger muds since the 2004/2005 period but across all the MUDs out there that is much harder to quantify, particularly as we get into blurring the line between traditional "text based" MUDs and those games that are essentially muds with a few graphics and/or their own client that is the only way to play the game.

On a more positive note, we've seen a lot of WoW players returning recently - it's getting harder for the more casual players to justify that monthly subscription with how the economy is and all that.
