I'd be curious to know if and how people are still using text (telnet) based moo's these days...

I'm not really actively playing anymore on the role-playing MOO I researched for a couple of years, but I do occasionally drop in there. Most of the people I knew have moved on, but it keeps amazing me that new people keep joining, choosing the text-only role-play there over graphical MMORPGs. This MOO doesn't offer anything graphical, old school text-only interface, apart of course from the client you want to use. Frank.
