Another one person MUD project is Bo Zimmerman's CoffeeMUD. It's been around for some time. See http://www.coffeemud.org/ http://www.coffeemud.org/ I always felt that a MUD would be a fantastic design approach for a graphical MMO. Specifically, start by creating a text (MUD) version of your world and the basic interactions, and only when you've created a compelling story and experience with words do you translate that into visuals. It also would be pretty intriguing to create a MUD that could work in multiple media: text, 2d graphics (think point and click adventure), and perhaps 3d graphics. Theoretically it would be doable. A pretty interesting advantage would be that an MMO with a text option would really open it up from the perspective of accessibility.
