MUDs are still alive[1], though there are a lot fewer very active MUDs than there used to be. For anyone interested in giving them a try, I can recommend the Mudlet MUD client[2], which is heavily scriptable and configurable. MUDs and programming are actually a match made in heaven. I personally really enjoyed automating map creation using Mudlet's generic mapper script. So if you like automating stuff and don't mind mostly text interfaces instead of pretty eye-candy, you might like MUDs.
