Oh man, I have similar statistics for the MUD I played, it was insane. However, the thing I found most fun about that was programming plugins to take the chore out of various tasks, so at least it helped me in that I had countless hours of programming practice. Otherwise, my experience was the same as the GP's, I have many friends today that I met fifteen years ago on that MUD.
