Nothing inherently, but as ISP customers in the 1990s, they were terrible. They tended to spend extremely long periods online, which screwed up the economics of dialup hosting, which was priced for typical residential users (a couple of hours of use a day). We ended up adding ToS clauses to put a stop to them.
The worst of our offenders was a couple—-a husband and a wife—-who both spent nearly all day on MUDs. One of our employees knew them and told me that they lived in a trailer in squalor. Their kid ended up getting taken away from them by Child Protective Services because of neglect. It was a really bad situation and colored my opinion of hard-core gamers.
